Williams' Percent Range (%R)
Like the Stochastic, but upside down: 0 means the close is at the recent high, −100 at the recent low.
La idea en pocas palabras
It shows how close the price closed to the top of its recent range. Closing near the top again and again is a sign of strength; slipping away from it, of weakening.
Cómo se calcula
The distance from the highest high to the close, divided by the full range of the last 14 candles.
%R = −100 × (highest high − close) ÷ (highest high − lowest low) (default 14 candles)Cómo usarlo
- Above −20: near the top of the range (overbought zone); below −80: near the bottom (oversold zone).
- A move out of the extreme zone (for example back above −80) can confirm a turn.
Sacar conclusiones
- In uptrends, dips to −80 that recover quickly can be buying chances.
Ejemplo
A stock closes at 98 with a 14-day high of 100 and low of 90: %R = −100 × (100 − 98) ÷ 10 = −20.
Los precios de los ejemplos son ilustrativos.
Ten cuidado con
- Very sensitive; expect many signals.

Larry Williams introduced %R in 1973.
