Williams %R - The BigTrends Way: Trading the Extremes to Find Major Trends
Williams %R is similar to Stochastics in measuring overbought & oversold levels – the traditional scale is from 0 down to -100, I use a +100 down to 0 scale.
While most use a 10 or 14 bar setting, I use a 30-bar setting – smoother but still responsive
BULL TRENDS: Look for “overbought” reading above 80, followed by a close above that bar’s high
BEAR TRENDS: Look for “oversold” reading below 20, followed by a close below that bar’s low

“I got the email about the special offer for your Options Shark subscription and was hesitant of buying it because I didn't want to use up all of my money on subscriptions and not have any money to trade. I decided to go for it anyway and I am glad I did. I made enough on the first 2 trades to have more than enough to pay for the whole subscription and I have been in it for just one week today.”
