Using a Selectable Chart Timeframe in the CoppockHist Indicator

Summary

The document describes a higher-timeframe variant of the CoppockHist indicator for MetaTrader 5. It exposes a timeframe input so a user can select the chart period from which the indicator should obtain its data; the example setting uses a four-hour period. This can let the indicator be applied while viewing a chart with a different timeframe, although the document does not explain how values are aligned or displayed across periods.

The indicator depends on a separate CoppockHist file that must be placed in the platform’s Indicators directory. The page includes no explanation of the Coppock calculation, signal interpretation, trading rules, or performance evidence. It is therefore useful mainly as a description of a configurable indicator variant and its dependency, rather than as guidance for a complete strategy. The referenced source is presented as a translation of a Russian original.

Key ideas

• The indicator variant provides an input for selecting its data timeframe.
• The example timeframe setting is four hours.
• A separate CoppockHist indicator file is required for this variant.
• The document gives no formula details, trading rules, or performance results.
