So I was following on my chromebook as I was walking to work. My thoughts were look to close the opening gap and then look for a buy signal. Of course we close the gap just as I reach the front door lol. I'm standing there thinking "should i walk in?" since I have to shut it down inside the building and won't be able to do anything for a few minutes. I did. No buy signal. Whew.

currently: end bearish as of SPY 406 on 3/6/23
Unfortunately, I chickened out and just took my winnings at yesterday's close and sold. So I'm in cash atm. Could've made more had I just sold the open today.

Tutti, I've played around with Coppock in weekly and even daily charts showing US and European indices - and in my view it's useless. As the original designers correctly found out: the only time frame which seems to show a flawless performance is the monthly chart.

It's hard to argue with you on this. In fact I agree.
I keep it in a file of charts for longer term looks - if you notice its on a monthly. Even then it's far from flawless. in the few signals it has produced (using my setting for it) there have been 2 false ones. The latest triggering just a bit ago. It's the reason I paired it with a weekly cross to see if there was something else I could take from it. There are too few actual signals to confidently state that it provides any type of statistical edge.
I wont trade to it, but mentioned it only because the forum was chatting about it.
