The principle behind this is the psychology of trading, based on the theory that human habit is predictable. And xauusd price movement always oscillates in a zigzag manner.

The principle of adaptation-level applies to how xauusd trading price reacts at certain levels, stock and xauusd trading prices will react in the same way or pattern as those observed historically.

XAUUSD Trading Analysis & Generating Gold Trading Signals

In gold trading, The moving average is the simplest form of an adaptation-level, the xauusd trading price will oscillate around the moving average. This forms the basis of this indicator, which is a longer term oscillator based on this adaptation-levels(moving average), but in a different way.

Oscillators usually begin by calculating a % change of the current xauusd trading price from some previous xauusd trading price point, where the previous xauusd trading price point is the reference point (adaptation-level).

Edwin Coppock reasoned that the xauusd market participants' emotional state could be quantified by summing up the % changes over the recent past to get a general sense of the xauusd market's longer term momentum.

For example, If we compare xauusd trading prices relative to a year ago and we see that this month the xauusd market is up 20% compared to a year ago, last month it was up 15% over a year ago, & 10%, 7.50% and 5% respectively the months before that, then we may ascertain that the xauusd market is gaining momentum.

Basic signals can also be generated using the Coppock Curve to trade market reversals from extreme xauusd trading price levels. Looking for divergence and gold trend line breaks may also be combined to confirm the signal.

Implementation

The input levels of this indicator might need to be adjusted to better fit the dynamic nature of the xauusd markets trading.

Coppock Curve has a zero line reference point, but this doesn't represent the adaptation-level but it is only a visual reference point only.
