These conditions are essential for predicting potential price reversal points in the market. The renowned trader and author <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Larry_R._Williams\">Larry Williams<\/a> developed the indicator, which is essentially a normalized version of the Stochastic Oscillator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, the WPR compares the closing price to the range between the high and low prices over a given number of periods and comes up with an oscillator that moves between 0 and -100. Like most indicators, the indicator chart is shown as a sub-chart below the main chart of the asset pair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"971\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator.png\" alt=\"Williams Percentage Range Indicator\" class=\"wp-image-21536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator.png 971w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-540x332.png 540w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-860x529.png 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The default look-back period for the WPR is 14. However, many traders change this setting to suit their preferences and timeframes. In conjunction with other indicators, traders effectively pick out entry and exit points in the market, especially by using the indicator to find potential reversal price levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-it-work\">How Does the Williams Percent Range Indicator Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop an oscillator that moves between the 0 and -100 range, the WPR indicator first records the high and low prices for each period over the look-back periods, usually 14.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The indicator then notes the closing, high, and low prices in the 14th period and inputs the values in its formula shown later on. In the 15th period, it records the low, high, and closing prices, but this time, only for the past 14 periods, and computes the new WPR with the formula.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cycle continues as each new period ends, calculating the WPR strictly for the past 14 periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formula for the WPR indicator is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Perentage-Range-Indicator-Formula.png\" alt=\"Williams Perentage Range Indicator Formula\" class=\"wp-image-21534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Perentage-Range-Indicator-Formula.png 439w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Perentage-Range-Indicator-Formula-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>H = Highest price in the lookback period. (Default is 14)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>C = Most recent closing price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>L = Lowest price in the lookback period.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, we can say that the <strong>WPR indicator is an improved and more sensitive version of the Stochastic oscillator<\/strong>. Readings above -20 indicate that price action is in an overbought market condition. Price may only pull back after some time. However, it tells you that the price is near the high of its recent price range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actions succeeding this observation help traders make an informed decision. Readings below -80 and close to -100 suggest that price action is oversold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-use\">How to Use The Williams Percent Range Indicator in Trading?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Primarily, the Williams Percent Range (WPR) indicator is used to identify overbought and oversold levels in the market.&nbsp;It is similar to <a href=\"\/indicators\/commodity-channel-index-cci\/\">the Commodity Channel Index indicator<\/a>, or <a href=\"\/indicators\/stochastic-rsi-indicator\/\">the RSI Stochastic indicator<\/a>. But in addition to that, the WPR indicator can also be used to identify building market momentum. This is done using the -50 line that represents a shift in market sentiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overbought condition occurs when the buying pressure peaks and the selling pressure begins to gather momentum, causing price action to head for a possible reversal. This region ranges between the 0 and -20 readings of the WPR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When price action lies in the overbought area, you can look for sell opportunities when the WPR hovers around 0-20. However, it is suggested to wait for the indicator&#8217;s line to retrace below the -20 to enter a short-sell position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, an oversold condition occurs when the selling pressure nears the maximum, and the buying pressure begins to rally. In this condition, price action also leads to a possible reversal in the uptrend. The readings for the oversold condition on the WPR are -80 to -100. In that case, you should consider buying opportunities when the WPR crosses into this region and retraces out of it above the -80 level. Otherwise, consider a short position if WPR retraces and continues to head towards the -100 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-1024x524.png\" alt=\"Williams Percentage Range Overbought and Oversold Zones\" class=\"wp-image-21537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-1536x786.png 1536w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-540x276.png 540w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-860x440.png 860w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones-1170x599.png 1170w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Overbought-and-Oversold-Zones.png 1835w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way traders use the WPR is the <a href=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/cheat-sheets\/divergence\/#what-is-divergence\">divergence analysis<\/a>. Divergence occurs when WPR and price action go in opposite directions. When the WPR indicator makes a higher high and price action makes a lower high, this indicates a bullish divergence. On the other hand, when WPR makes a lower low and price action makes a higher low, this implies a bearish divergence. Divergence can be a powerful tool for anticipating price movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can combine the WPR in a strategy with any other helpful indicator. For instance, you can combine WPR with a moving average. Moving averages help you confirm your trade bias with their relative position to the price action. When the WPR indicator gives a signal, confirm what the moving average does with price action. We describe this trading strategy explicitly in an example in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trading-strategy\">Williams Percent Range Indicator Trading Strategy Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we consider step-by-step procedures for trading the Williams Percent Range strategy. Our trading example will show you how to combine WPR with a moving average to increase the accuracy of trading signals. When WPR calls a signal, we confirm the signal with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) before getting into a trade.&nbsp;Let&#8217;s see how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Williams Percent Range Indicator and Moving Average Trading Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this trading strategy, the Williams %R generates signals when it gets into an overbought\/oversold region and retraces. Then, we wait for price action to cross our moving average in the direction of the signal called by the WPR. We get into a trade when WPR and moving average are in sync direction-wise on the EURUSD currency pair. In this example, we use the 50-period EMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trade Entry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Launch your WPR indicator on your chart. It is displayed as a separate chart below the price chart. We maintain the default 14-period setting. Also, launch your 50 EMA on your price chart. Price action crosses the EMA intermittently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy.png\" alt=\"Williams Percentage Range Indicator With EMA Trading Strategy\" class=\"wp-image-21535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy.png 979w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-540x332.png 540w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-Indicator-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-860x529.png 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the WPR crosses in and out of the overbought territory, wait for price action to cross the EMA from up to down. That is your Sell opportunity. Otherwise, when WPR tests the oversold territory and heads back towards -80, wait for price action to cross above EMA in an uptrend to enter a long position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"971\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry.png\" alt=\"Williams Percentage Range With EMA Trading Strategy Entry\" class=\"wp-image-21538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry.png 971w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry-540x332.png 540w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-Entry-860x529.png 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stop Loss<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Place your stop loss below the nearest swing low for a buy trade and the closest swing high for a sell trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss.png\" alt=\"Williams Percentage Range With EMA Trading Strategy with stop loss\" class=\"wp-image-21539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss.png 979w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss-540x332.png 540w, https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Williams-Percentage-Range-With-EMA-Trading-Strategy-with-stop-loss-860x529.png 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Profit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can exit your trades when the EMA changes the direction of its signal.

However, the most commonly used setting is the default 14 period, which calculates WPR over the past 14 periods. Traders may adjust this period to suit their specific trading strategies and timeframes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the range of Williams Percent on TradingView?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the TradingView trading platform and many other trading platforms, the WPR typically ranges from 0 to -100. Readings above -20 are overbought, while readings below -80 are oversold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between RSI and Williams Percent Range?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/howtotrade.com\/cheat-sheets\/rsi-divergence\/#what-is-the-rsi-indicator\">Relative Strength Index (RSI)<\/a> and Williams Percent Range (WPR) are both momentum oscillators used in technical analysis but differ in some ways. Firstly, RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, typically calculated based on a 14-lookback period. WPR calculates the Percent of the current closing price relative to the high-low range over a specified period. Also, RSI typically ranges from 0 to 100, with readings below 30 suggesting oversold and readings above 70 indicating overbought conditions. WPR, on the other hand, ranges from 0 to -100, with readings above -20 suggesting overbought and readings below -80 indicating oversold conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174583,"featured_media":21596,"template":"","class_list":["post-21533","indicators","type-indicators","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"related_posts":[20928,22373,20995],"reviewer":144908},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
