Williams' percentage range is an oscillator indicator.

Williams' percentage range trading indicator was created by Larry Williams with the main objective of helping traders to know whether the market is in an oversold or overbought condition.

According to Larry Williams, he considers his indicator as a type of momentum indicator that m

oves between 0 and -100 .

Larry Williams' further derived the formula for getting the values of his indicator as follows; 

%R= Highest High price- Close price/Highest High price-Lowest Low price

Since Williams' percentage range is an oscillator indicator and ranges between 0 to -100,it follows to have its oscillation at between -20 to -80.When the percentage range is below -80 then it is an indication that the market is  oversold thus reversal of the market will take place thus the market will start moving upwards while when the percentage range is above -20 then it is an indication that the market is an overbought thus reversal of the market will take place thus the market will start moving downwards.Therefore,at below -80 where an upward market reversal will take place,the trader will be signaled to close any sell position and open a buy position since the market will be moving upwards while at above -20 where a downward market reversal will take place,the trader will be signaled to close any buy position and open a sell position since the market will be moving downwards.This is indicated as from the candle stick charts below;

From the candle stick chart above,the two adjoining red arrows represent the williams' percentage range .Point A with the big red arrow represents percentage range below -80 while point B represent percentage range at above -20.Since point A is below -80,then it follows that an upward market reversal will take place since that point represent an oversold market.This will signal the trader to close any sell position  position and open a buy position since the market will start moving upwards.

On the other hand,since point B is above -20,then it follows that a downward market reversal will take place since that point represent an overbought market.This will signal the trader to close any buy position and open a sell position since the market will start moving downwards.

Recommendation:If you are a day trader just use 1 min,5 min,15 min and 30 min time frame while if you are a swing trader just use 1 hour and above time frame if you want williams' percentage range to work well for you.
