Coppock Curve

Core Concepts

Understanding coppock curve requires familiarity with market microstructure, order flow dynamics, and execution latency. The following sections detail each component.

Implementation

Implementation of coppock curve follows a modular architecture. Configuration files define parameters, strategy modules handle logic, and exchange adapters manage execution.

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

# Example configuration for Coppock Curve
strategy:
  name: coppock-curve
  timeframe: 5m
  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish
  exit_conditions:
    - rsi_overbought
    - stop_loss_hit
  risk:
    max_position_size: 0.02
    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Configuration Example

Configuration for coppock curve uses YAML or JSON format. Key parameters include timeframes, signal thresholds, position sizing rules, and risk limits.

  indicators:
    - rsi
    - ema_fast
    - ema_slow
  entry_conditions:
    - rsi_oversold
    - ema_crossover_bullish

    stop_loss_pct: 0.015

Common Issues

Common issues with coppock curve include look-ahead bias in backtesting, overfitting to historical regimes, inadequate handling of exchange downtime, and insufficient logging for debugging.
