Coppock curve

What does Coppock curve measure?

A slow, long-term momentum curve built to spot major market bottoms. It is famous for signalling when it turns up from below zero.

How is Coppock curve calculated?

Take the percentage change over the last 14 candles and the change over the last 11 candles, add the two together, and smooth the result over 10 candles with an average that leans on the newest values.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Coppock curve in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type coppock (parameters: long, default 14; short, default 11; wma, default 10). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
