Vladimir Karputov , aka barabashkakvn, from perhaps ukraine, posted on the mq5 site his Two MA Color N Bars Square - indicator for MetaTrader 5.......

this was something i had tried to do a few months ago, before finally setting it aside...... all it takes is a single concept error to end all hope.......

have written and posted hundreds or these type indicators for mq4....... they are useful to me.....

i modified , only slightly, his indicator to do what i could not before........ lines 75 and 90 in his code below......

his original is below,...... along with a hma(10) and hma(20)...... and alma and sma(200)...... you will need the alma and hma also..... will expand these.....

seems best to create a template......

the idea , for me, is small sized trades with prevailing trend....... h

//-----

he has a youtube channel...... some of his videos are translated in to english......

the coppock indicator was intended monthly charts...... few can trade monthly charts...... not me for sure......

it seems to work equally well for me on lower timeframes......

if you looked at the math, it's really just comparing 2 roc's, rate of changes, and the creating a moving average of that change......

a single ma applied to the roc indicator is a very close approximation of the coppock...... such a indicator is on the mq5 site......

roc with a signal ma.......

the idea for me with both the coppock and the roc with ma, is to alert on the zero line crossing....... a 0 line cross with confirming hull and alma ma's seems a fair signal.....

had to edit the roc with ma to work with the mym, dow 30, futures....... some indicators will not work well with symbols that are whole numbers only......

adjustable digits version below......h
