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.
Stochastic oscillator – is a technical indicator designed by the president of "Investment Educators" corporation George C. Lane in the end of 1950-s. Stochastic estimates market momentum and shows position of present price against price range (between High and Low) for a definite time period. It is measured in per cent from 0 to 100. According to George C. Lane, “doesn't follow price, it doesn't follow volume or anything like that. It follows the speed or the momentum of price. As a rule, the momentum changes direction before price.”
