Coppock), he was the founder of Trendex, a service in the 60's and 70's that specialized in relative strength work in both stocks and industry groups. Coppock developed the "Coppock Curve," or "Coppock Indicator to calculate buy signals for long-term investors. The equation: Coppock = WMA[10] of (ROC[14] + ROC[11]). The Coppock indicator first appeared in Barron's Magazine in October 15, 1962. It was noted in a 2001 interview with John Bollinger in Active Trader Magazine (of Bollinger Band fame) that Coppock's work with computers and the ability to "trade without emotion" became a catalyst for Bollinger's technical analysis work. -- 52 pages, Extremely Scarce Title by Coppock.
