The Coppock Indicator is a WMA of two ROCs.

The basis of the Coppock Curve indicator is a momentum confirmation indicator which oscillates above and below zero and lives in a separate window below price.

This indicator uses two ROC lengths (short and long) with a WMA (weighted moving average) to help smooth things out. Simply stated, the Rate of Change is the percentage change between the current price with respect to an earlier closing price a specific quantity of prior periods. The Coppock Curve is calculated as a 10 period WMA of the sum of the 14 period rate of change and the 11 period rate of change for the currency pair.

This indicator’s settings were actually suggested by the Episcopalian Church. The default settings were proposed by the Bishops of the church.

The 11 and 14 periods for the short and long ROC was told by the Bishops from the Episcopalian Church that the average mourning period is 11 to 14 months. This was interpreted as the oscillator’s downtrend movement was akin to a mourning period

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
