Investopedia explains 'Coppock Curve'

The Coppock formula was introduced in Barron's in 1962 by Edwin Sedgwick Coppock.

A buy signal is formed when there is an upturn in the curve after an extreme low in the curve. A sell signal is formed when there is a higher peak in stock prices but a lower peak in the Coppock curve. These are the basic signals, more signals and interpretations are seen at more advanced levels.
