Random article: Williams' Percent Range
Williams' Percent Range is a technical indicator of oscillator type showing overbought/oversold status on market. The first time it was described in 1973 by a famous trader Larry Williams. The indicator itself is very close to Stochastic Oscillator, but unlike Stochastic, WPR is not smoothed over with the help of moving average and has a reverse sale in order to not deprive sense of overbought (at the top) and oversold (downwards) zones.

The world required several years from then on to develop and launch new rules for international trading.
