The WPR indicator (Williams% R or Williams Overbought / Oversold Index) was invented by Larry Williams to estimate the speed of price movements and shows the position of the closing price relative to the max / min levels for a certain period.
The indicator shows the level of the current closing price of the period relative to the real range (max / min). Values (in percent) are displayed in the range from 0% to (-100%).
