<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>>Has anybody heard of or know where to find info on the Coppock
Curve? I<BR>>understand it is a momentum index based on a combination
of two rate of<BR>change<BR>>measures and has a very good record of
identifying bottoms and new advance<BR>>phases when the index itself moves
from an oversold condition. It recently<BR>>did just that, suggesting
strength into the year end and early 1998.<BR>><BR>>If anyone can help,
please advise. Thanks....<BR>><BR>>Jerry<BR>></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Well, here is the Coppock Curve formula for MetaStock...sorry it is so
long, but that's<BR>life sometimes. I don't display a scale and I also set
a horizontal at "zero" just for better<BR>visualization. If you
want to set a scale that makes sense, you should probably multiply<BR>the whole
formula by maybe 10000 or 100000 to have a set of numbers that
make<BR>sense.<BR>(ROC( CLOSE,14 ,percent )*10 + ROC(CLOSE,11,percent)*10 +
<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-1),14,percent)*9+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-1),11,percent)*9+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-2),14,percent)*8+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-2),11,percent)*8+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-3),14,percent)*7+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-3),11,percent)*7+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-4),14,percent)*6+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-4),11,percent)*6+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-5),14,percent)*5+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-5),11,percent)*5+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-6),14,percent)*4+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-6),11,percent)*4+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-7),14,percent)*3+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-7),11,percent)*3
+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-8),14,percent)*2+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-8),11,percent)*2+<BR>ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-9),14,percent)+ROC(Ref(CLOSE,-9),11,percent))/2<BR>The
formula, however, is only of academic interest unless it is used with
either<BR>Coppock's original intent (I don't like it since it usually gets out
far too early in trending<BR>markets/stocks) or with a slight modification that
I developed over the last couple of<BR>years and will be publishing in the
Market Technicians Association Journal sometime<BR>over the next few
months. Without getting into too much verbiage, you can set up a<BR>system
test that uses my modifications as follows:<BR>Let's assume that you have called
the above formula "Coppock Curve."<BR>Signal Formulas<BR>Enter
Long:<BR>Fml("Coppock Curve") > Ref(Fml("Coppock Curve"),
-1)<BR>AND<BR>((Close > Ref(Open,-1) AND Ref(Black(),-1))<BR>OR<BR>(Close
> Ref(Close,-1) AND Ref(White(),-1)))<BR>Close Long:<BR>Fml("Coppock
Curve") < Ref(Fml("Coppock Curve"),-1)<BR>AND<BR>((Close <
Ref(Open,-1) AND Ref(White(),-1))<BR>OR<BR>(Close < Ref(Close,-1) AND
Ref(Black(),-1)))<BR>Enter Short:<BR>Fml("Coppock Curve") <
Ref(Fml("Coppock Curve"),-1)<BR>AND<BR>((Close < Ref(Close,-1) AND
Ref(Black(),-1))<BR>OR<BR>(Close < Ref(Open,-1) AND
Ref(White(),-1)))<BR>Close Short:<BR>Fml("Coppock Curve") >
Ref(Fml("Coppock Curve"),-1)<BR>AND<BR>((Close > Ref(Close,-1) AND
Ref(White(),-1))<BR>OR<BR>(Close > Ref(Open,-1) AND Ref(Black(),-1)))<BR>This
approach works well with monthly, weekly, daily, hourly etc charts.
Visually, I like<BR>to use candlestick charts since it is easier to
"see" the trading signals as they appear<BR>on the chart. Try
this out on several of your favorite stocks and you will be pretty<BR>amazed at
how well it works, particularly versus a buy-and-hope strategy.<BR>Good
luck.<BR>SectorBets<BR></DIV>

<P><FONT size=1>rev. 01/06/97<BR></FONT>
<P>The Coppock Curve was developed by Edwin Sedgwick Coppock in 1962. It was
featured in the November 94 issue of <U>Technical Analysis of Stocks &
Commodities</U>, in the article "<I>The Coppock Curve"</I>, written by
Elliot Middleton.: <BR>
<P>Taken from Stocks & Commodities, V. 12:11 (459-462): The Coppock Curve by
Elliott Middleton
<P>"We are creatures of habit. We judge the world relative to what we have
experienced. If we're shopping for a mortgage and rates have been in the teens
(as they were in the early 1980s) and then drop to 10%, we are elated. If,
however, they've been at 8% and then rise to 10%, we are disappointed. It all
depends on your perspective.
<P>The principle of adaptation-level applies to how we judge our income levels,
stock prices and virtually every other variable in our lives. Psychologically,
relativity prevails..
<P>SIMPLEST FORMS
<P>The moving average is the simplest form of adaptation-level. Moving average
crossover rules accurately signal the onset of periods of returns outside the
norm, whether positive or negative. This makes moving average crossovers useful
to traders who want to get a boost on entering or exiting stocks or funds.
<P>The oscillator is also based on adaptation-level, although in a slightly
different way. Oscillators generally begin by calculating a percentage change of
current price from some previous price, where the previous price is the
adaptation-level or reference point. The mind is attuned to percentage changes
because they represent returns. If you bought Microsoft Corp. stock (MSFT) at
$50 and it goes to $80, you make 60% before dividends. If you bought Berkshire
Hathaway (BRK) at $4,000 and it rises to $4,030, the same dollar gain, you make
0.75% before dividends. It's the percentage change that counts. Relativity
again.
<P>Coppock reasoned that the market's emotional state could be determined by
adding up the percentage changes over the recent past to get a sense of the
market's momentum (and oscillators are generally momentum
indicators ). So if we compare prices relative to a year ago - which
happens to be the most common interval - and we see that this month the market
is up 15% over a year ago, last month it was up 12.5% over a year ago, and 10%,
7.5% and 5%, respectively, the months before that, then we may judge that the
market is gaining momentum and, like a trader watching for the upward crossover
of the moving average, we may jump into the market."
<P>The MetaStock™ formula for the Coppock Curve is:
<P>(MOV(ROC(MOV(C,22,S),250,%),150,E))/100<BR><BR></P></FONT></BODY></HTML>

Tom,
I've been told that the Jan. '93 issue contains an article(s) on the
Stochastic Momentum Index and the True Strength Index. If you could take a
peek and confirm that, it would be of great help. I don't know if you have
a scanner, but I'd be move than willing to compensate you for your time and
effort to dig up this information.
Thanks for replying,
Steve Karnish
