List members,

Given below is an indicator, which is a variation of William’s %R, used by me in MetaStock 6.52. The structure of the indicator is similar to that of Willams’ %R.

All I have done here is to substitute High and Low of any bar with that of Bollinger Band Top and Bollinger Band Bottom.

I have tested it on various time periods (for Bollinger Bands) using 2 std.dev., it sometimes gives an early indication of reversals than the Williams’ %R of the same period. Divergences have also been somewhat better.

However, the structure shows that most of its properties are similar to that of Williams’ %R or for that matter any other overbought-oversold indicator.

Any comments, criticisms and/or suggestions in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.
