The bars
Williams %R
Williams %R is -43, between -80 and -20.
- What it says
- The close sits 43% of the way down from the 14-bar high. The 14-bar range runs from 2,260.90 to 2,363.50; the last close is 2,319.40.
- How it is read
- Above -20 is called overbought and below -80 oversold. Many traders wait for the reading to leave the zone again before acting, rather than acting the moment it enters.
- Read it with care
- In a strong trend %R can sit near 0 or near -100 for many bars; an extreme reading on its own is not a turn.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

The close against the range
Larry Williams' %R takes the highest high and the lowest low of the last 14 bars and asks where the last close sits between them. At the high it reads 0; at the low it reads -100. It is the fast stochastic turned upside down: %R equals the %K line minus 100.
Compare it with the stochastic calculator and the RSI calculator, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
