I think from Equis excellent article, that you have "filled" the last alineas
missing longer term Coppock Curve - LT Momentum indicator.
Sure looks like a TRUE curve, if you ever have the chance to send a copy
of the article, I'd be much obliged.
1. (Close-Ref(C,-300))/(Ref(C,-300)*0.01)
2. (Close-Ref(C,-240))/(Ref(C,-240)*0.01)
3. Mov((Close-Ref(C,-300))/(Ref(C,-300)*0.01)+
(Close-Ref(C,-240))/(Ref(C,-240)*0.01),220,W)
Thanks for posting,

>useful to traders who want to get a boost on entering or exiting stocks or
>funds.

>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.

>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."
