Explain the Williams %R indicator by introducing how it is calculated, how it works? And what is the best setting? With justification for your choice.

The Williams% R or William's Percent Range (% R) indicator is of the world most used indicators used by crypto traders to monitor best time to enter the exchange market and best time to exit the exchange market, without losing any assert of theirs. The Williams % R was innovated by scientist and a trader named "Larry Williams" in the year 1973. Although Larry Williams have also innovated a lot of different awesome indicators but The Williams%R is said to be one of the best of his innovations.

This indicator works as an oscillator. It helps calculate the speed at which price of a particular assert is increasing or decreasing at a particular period of time, so traders could reduce the risk or probability of experienced lose. It discoves area accumulation, which lead to trend reversals in a chart.

It's is also used to calculate the movement of bulls and bears to find the bullish sentiment to close stock price an upper or lower limit for a particular time, that is if chart's moves to the direction of zero the when bull strength is at its maximum, while if the chart moves to towards 100, then it's bear strength is moving towards the maximum. Also if the bear gains strength the the close price goes low and if the bull gains strength the close price becomes higher.

How Williams's % R indicator is been calculated

Williams%R can been calculated mathematically to maximize the success result of the indicator, by using the below formula.

Williams % R = (The past highest value of the assert at "N" period - value of the price at close daily ) / (The past highest value of an asset at "N" period- The past lowest value of the assert at "N" period) * -100.

Example, if the highest high of the past period was observed to be 60, and the daily closed price 50 , while the lowest low is 30,

Williams %R = (60- 50) / (60 - 30) * -100

W%R = 10 / 30 * -100

W%R = 0.33 * -100 = -33%

That is Williams's %R = -33%,
The assert is a experiencing failure swing

And what is the best setting?

How do you interpret overbought and oversold signals with The Williams %R when trading cryptocurrencies? (screenshot required)?

Screenshot_20211002-134221_5.png

The Williams percent range is works as an oscillator due to the fact that it values ranges from 0 to -100. To find out if an assert has been oversold or whether the assert has been overbought, you have to calculate to determine it. If the Williams %R indicator is reading figures between -80 and -100, then that assert has been oversold but if the figure reads between figures between -20 and 0, then that assert has been overbought,

When an asset is overbought or if an assert has been oversold, trader are not advised to hurry while selling or buying because it might be risky, so traders are expected to wait for confirmation before making any transactions.
This help maximize profits from traders and risks of lose of asserts and profits.
Traders must wait for a
bullish signal before they buy asserts and wait for a bearish signal to sell asserts.

What are "failure swings" and how do you define it using The Williams %R? (screenshot required)?

The act of Swing failure in Williams % R indicator, is when the price of an assert didn't rise above the high reference line or when the asset falls below it low reference line. It happens when price of asset an exchange market, don'tnot correspond to the scale reading of an indicator. It's a type of oscillator that start from 0 and end at -100, it's right to say that the swing failure set in,if the uptrend can be more than -20 , and the downward trend cannot fall lower than -80,
