Williams %R is a technical indicator used to measure overbought or oversold conditions in financial assets.

Any idea using it?

No to me I didn't find it friendly to use. My favorite ones are Ichimoku and RSI

The indicator oscillates between 0 and -100, with readings above -20 typically considered overbought and readings below -80 considered oversold.

1. Overbought/Oversold Levels: Traders can look for overbought conditions (reading above -20) as potential selling opportunities and oversold conditions (reading below -80) as potential buying opportunities.
2. Divergence: Traders can look for divergences between the indicator and price movement. For example, if the price makes a higher high while the Williams %R makes a lower high, it could signal a potential reversal.
3. Reversal Signals: Traders can watch for bullish or bearish reversal signals generated by the indicator, such as when it crosses above or below certain threshold levels (-20 or -80).
4. Confirmation: The Williams %R can be used as a confirmation tool alongside other technical indicators or chart patterns to validate trading decisions.
