A Simple Buy and Sell Indicator for Long-Term Investors
It’s called the Coppock Curve – a rarely spoken of indicator that works quite well at providing long-term buy and sell signals for ETFs linked to major indices, which provide an easy way for investors to access a basket of well-known stocks. Using the Coppock Curve in conjunction with major index ETFs provides a simple solution for investors who are concerned about large drawdowns in their portfolio during major stock market declines. This method results in trades lasting 4.5 to 10 years, and has captured the bulk of trending moves since 1991, while also avoiding a significant portion of the crashes [see A Brief History of ETF Bubbles].
