FAQ
What is the difference between Williams %R and the Fast Stochastic Oscillator?
They are essentially the same, but Williams %R is inverted and uses a 0 to -100 scale, while Stochastic uses 0 to 100. Williams %R = (Highest High - Close) / (Highest High - Lowest Low) * -100.
Does an overbought reading mean I should sell immediately?
No. In a strong uptrend, the indicator can stay in the overbought zone for a long time. It is often better to wait for the indicator to cross back below -20 before considering a sell signal.
Can I change the default 14-period setting?
Yes. Shortening the period makes the indicator more sensitive (more signals, more noise), while lengthening it makes it smoother and less reactive to minor price fluctuations.
