Coppock Curve Technical Analysis and Coppock Curve Signals
Created by Edwin Sedgwick Coppock
This indicator was used for trading analysis of Stocks & Commodities in the beginning but was later used to trade Forex.
The principle behind this is the psychology of trading, based on the theory that human habit is predictable. And price movement always oscillates in a zigzag manner.
The principle of adaptation levels applies to how price reacts at certain levels, stock and currency prices will react in the same way or pattern as those observed historically.
Forex Analysis & Generating Signals
In Forex trading, The Moving Average is the simplest form of an adaptation-levels, the market price will oscillate around the MA Moving Average. This forms the basis of this trading indicator, which's a longer-term oscillator technical indicator based on this adaptation levels(moving average), but in a different way.
Oscillators usually start by calculating a percentage% change of the current price from some previous price point, where the previous price point is the reference point (adaptation-levels).
Edwin Coppock reasoned that the market participants' emotional state could be quantified by summing up the % changes over the recent past to get an overall sense of the market's longer term trend momentum.
For example, If we compare prices relative to a year ago and we see that this month the market is up 20 % compared to a year ago, last month it was up 15 % over a year ago, & 10 %, 7.5% and 5 % respectively the months before that, then we might determine that the market is gaining momentum.
Basic signals also can be generated using the Coppock Curve to trade market reversals from extreme price levels. Looking for divergence & trend line breaks may also be combined to confirm the signal.
Implementation
The input levels of this indicator might need to be adjusted to better fit the dynamic nature of the currency markets trading.
Coppock Curve has a zero line reference point, but this does not represent the adaptation levels but it is only a visual reference point only.
