The Coppock Curve is a long-term price momentum indicator used primarily to recognize major downturns and upturns in a stock market index. It is calculated as a 10-month weighted moving average of the sum of the 14-month rate of change and the 11-month rate of change for the index. It is also known as the "Coppock Guide." The Coppock formula was introduced in Barron's in 1962 by Edwin Coppock.
The Coppock Curve is a technical indicator that provides long-term buy and sell signals for major stock indexes and related ETFs based on shifts in momentum.
What Does the Coppock Curve Tell You? The Coppock Curve was originally implemented as a long-term buy and sell indicator for major indices such as the S&P 500 and the Wilshire 5000. Often, it is used with long-term time series such as a candlestick chart, but where each candle contains a month's worth of price information.
The Difference Between the Coppock Curve and Rate of Relative Strength Index (RSI)? The relative strength index looks at how the current price compares to prior prices, though it is calculated differently than the rate of change (ROC) indicator used in the Coppock Curve calculation. Therefore, these indicators will provide different trade signals and information.
What are those circles? -These are Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What are those triangles? - These are Pivots . They show when the VPT oscillator might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.

Added a counting system for the pivots. Every time there is a lower high on the higher pivot, or there is a higher low on the lower pivot the pivot triangle is going to be colored. This system might help to visualize when a buying or selling opportunity occurs.
Good work friend! I have been following you silently for a while, thank you for your selfless dedication

Great work. 2 questions: 1. Do circles and triangles repaint? 2. Do they appear before bar closes or only after close? TIA

@volramp, as the lookback of divergences and the pivots is by default set to 1 bar, they do not repaint. - The setting however can be modified in the options.
