Forex H1 Williams Percent Range Trading Strategy – In technical analysis, this is a momentum trading system measuring overbought and oversold levels, similar to a stochastic oscillator. Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams and compares a stock’s close to the high-low range over a certain period of time, usually 14 days.
Williams %R is used to determine market entry and exit points. The Williams %R produces values from 0 to -100, a reading over 80 usually indicates a stock is oversold, while readings below 20 suggests a stock is overbought.
The Williams Percent Range indicator is composed of a single fluctuating curve. Traders will occasionally add a Smoothed Moving Average, as above in “Red”, to enhance the value of the trading signals. In the example above, the “Blue” line is the Williams Percent Range, while the “Red” line represents a “SMA” for “14” periods.
The Williams Percent Range is viewed as a “leading” indicator, in that its signals foretell that a change in trend is imminent. The weakness in the indicator is that timing is not necessarily a product of the %R oscillator, the reason for attaching a “lagging” moving average to confirm the Williams Percent Range signal.
Forex traders favor the Williams Percent Range indicator because of its ability to foretell reversals one to two periods ahead of time. As with any oscillator, one should wait until actual pricing behavior confirms the reversal.

William % R Note:
Importantly, if an overbought/oversold indicator, such as Stochastics or Williams %R, shows an overbought level, the best action is to wait for the futures contract’s price to turn down before selling.
Selling just because the contract seems to be overbought (or buying just because it is oversold) may take a trader out of the particular market long before the price falls (or rises).
