Williams %R (14)

The distance from today's price to the 14-day high, on a −100 to 0 scale.

Why it matters

The honest thing is to say it outright: in the project's implementation this indicator is exactly stochastic %K minus 100. It's the same information shifted along the scale, not a second opinion. It's computed and published because it's part of the standard indicator set the project wanted visible, and because the models receive it as a column — but if the stochastic is already on screen, this adds nothing that wasn't there.

Build it yourself

The same three numbers as the stochastic. Compare the result with that page's: it always differs by exactly 100.

How it's calculated, step by step

  1. The 14-day stochastic %K is computed exactly as described on its own page.
  2. Williams %R = %K − 100. That leaves it between −100 (at the range low) and 0 (at the high), which is Larry Williams' original convention.
Coincident signal. Redundant with the stochastic by construction, and with the same simplification of using closes rather than intraday highs and lows. It's documented here precisely so that anyone looking at both charts doesn't believe two independent indicators are confirming each other — a pattern the project's research kept running into, counting as separate findings signals that overlapped between 70% and 100%.
