Williams %R IntensityOverview
"Williams %R Intensity" is a unique indicator that combines the classic Williams %R with a dynamic intensity-based visualization. This indicator helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions with enhanced clarity while also predicting potential future crossovers using smoothed slope calculations. It is tailored for traders seeking a more nuanced approach to trend detection and momentum analysis.
Features and How It Works
Core Calculation:
Williams %R : Measures the current closing price relative to the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined length (default: 14).
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) : Smoothens the %R values for better trend tracking (default length: 14).
Overbought/Oversold Zones :
Upper and lower threshold levels are set at -20 (overbought) and -80 (oversold), making it easier to identify extreme conditions.
Intensity Visualization:
The intensity is calculated based on the absolute distance between Williams %R and its EMA.
The closer the value is to extreme levels, the more pronounced the visual intensity, capping at 90% transparency.
Overbought conditions are highlighted in red; oversold conditions in teal.
Crossover Signals:
Bullish Cross: When Williams %R crosses above its EMA in the oversold zone.
Bearish Cross: When Williams %R crosses below its EMA in the overbought zone.
The background color changes (lime for bullish, red for bearish) to highlight these critical moments when enabled via the "Show Cross & Predicted Cross Signal" option.
Future Cross Prediction:
Uses the smoothed slope of %R to estimate future values over a customizable number of steps.
Predicts potential bullish or bearish crosses based on the interaction between the predicted Williams %R and EMA.
Light green and light red background colors indicate predicted bullish and bearish crosses, respectively.
How to Use
Trend Detection: Use the Williams %R and its EMA to identify ongoing trends and confirm their strength.
Overbought/Oversold Analysis: Pay attention to crosses in extreme zones (-20 and -80) for potential reversals.
Intensity-Based Filtering: The intensity visualization helps to focus on the most significant conditions, reducing noise.
Cross Prediction: Enable "Show Cross & Predicted Cross Signal" to anticipate future turning points and plan trades proactively.
Example Applications
Scalping: Monitor rapid crossovers in lower timeframes for quick entries and exits.
Swing Trading: Use the overbought/oversold zones and cross predictions to identify longer-term reversal opportunities.
Risk Management: The intensity visualization can be used to filter out weak signals, ensuring higher-quality trade setups.

Williams Vix Fix OHLC candles plot indicator (Tartigradia)OHLC candles plot of the Williams VixFix indicator, which allows to draw trend lines.
Williams VixFix is a realized volatility indicator developed by Larry Williams, and can help in finding market bottoms.
Indeed, as Williams describe in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear. The VixFix is calculated as how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The Williams VixFix indicator is usually presented as a curve or histogram. The novelty of this indicator is to present the data as a OHLC candles plot: whereas the original Williams VixFix calculation only involves the close value, we here use the open, high and low values as well. This led to some mathematical challenges because some of these calculations led to absurd values, so workarounds had to be found, but in the end I think the result was worth it, it reproduces the VIX chart quite well.
A great additional value of the OHLC chart is that it shows not just the close value, but all the values during the session: open, high and low in addition to close. This allows to draw trend lines and can provide additional information on momentum and sentiment. In addition, other indicators can be used on it, as if it was a price chart, such as RSI indicators (see RSI+ (alt) indicator for example).

Fixing the VIX: An Indicator to Beat Fear, Amber Hestla-Barnhart, Journal of Technical Analysis, March 13, 2015, ssrn.com
Replicating the CBOE VIX using a synthetic volatility index trading algorithm, Dayne Cary and Gary van Vuuren, Cogent Economics & Finance, Volume 7, 2019, Issue 1, doi.org
This indicator includes only the Williams VixFix as an OHLC candles or bars plot, and price / vixfix candles plot, as well as the typical vixfix histogram. Indeed, it is much more practical for unbounded range indicators to be plotted in their own separate panel, hence why this indicator is released separately, so that it can work and be scaled adequately out of the box.
Note that the there are however no bottom buy signals. For a more complete indicator, which also includes the OHLC candles plots present here, but also bottom signals and Inverse VixFix (top signals), see:
Set Index symbol to SPX, and index_current = false, and timeframe Weekly, to reproduce the original VIX as close as possible by the VIXFIX (use the Add Symbol option, because you want to plot CBOE:VIX on the same timeframe as the current chart, which may include extended session / weekends). With the Weekly timeframe, off days / extended session days should not change much, but with lower timeframes this is important, because nights and weekends can change how the graph appears and seemingly make them different because of timing misalignment when in reality they are not when properly aligned.
Williams + BB Buy Sell signal
Williams %R with Bollinger Bands
This script can help traders to determine if there is a buy or sell signal.
It indicates when the Williams %R crosses the Bollingers bands levels at the overbought and oversold areas.
Red cross: when the Williams crosses the upper level of BB in the overbought area, that can be considered as a double confirmation to sold.
Green cross: when the Williams crosses the lower level of BB in the oversold area, that can be considered as a double confirmation to buy.
Configuration:
This indicator gives accurate signals with this configuration:
Williams %R: period length 12
MA period: period length 8
Bollinger bands: period length 6
Williams Percent Range with ThresholdEnhance your trading analysis with the "Williams Percent Range with Threshold" indicator, a powerful modification of the classic Williams %R oscillator. This custom version introduces customizable uptrend and downtrend thresholds, combined with dynamic candlestick coloring to visually highlight market trends. Originally designed to identify overbought and oversold conditions, this script takes it a step further by allowing traders to define specific threshold levels for trend detection, making it a versatile tool for momentum and trend-following strategies.
Key Features:
Customizable Thresholds: Set your own uptrend (default: -16) and downtrend (default: -67) thresholds to adapt the indicator to your trading style.
Dynamic Candlestick Coloring: Candles turn green during uptrends, red during downtrends, and gray in neutral conditions, providing an intuitive visual cue directly on the price chart.
Flexible Length: Adjust the lookback period (default: 50) to fine-tune sensitivity.
Overlay Design: Integrates seamlessly with your price chart, enhancing readability without clutter.
How It Works:
The Williams %R calculates the current closing price's position relative to the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, expressed as a percentage between -100 and 0. This version adds trend detection based on user-defined thresholds, with candlestick colors reflecting the trend state. The indicator plots the %R line with color changes (green for uptrend, red for downtrend) and includes dashed lines for the custom thresholds.
Usage Tips:
Use the uptrend threshold (-16 by default) to identify potential buying opportunities when %R exceeds this level.
Apply the downtrend threshold (-67 by default) to spot selling opportunities when %R falls below.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages or support/resistance levels) for confirmation signals.
Adjust the length and thresholds based on the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
Williams Fractals Dynamic Horizontal LinesWilliams Fractals with Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Overview
This script identifies Williams Fractals (support and resistance points) on any chart and automatically draws horizontal lines at those fractal levels.
The lines extend right and disappear when price breaks them — giving a clean and real-time view of key support and resistance levels.
Features
Detects upward fractals (potential resistances).
Detects downward fractals (potential supports).
Draws horizontal lines at each fractal point.
Automatically deletes a line when:
Price closes above a resistance.
Price closes below a support.
Clean and lightweight — minimal performance impact.
Inputs
Setting Description Default
Periods (n) Number of candles on each side required to confirm a fractal (minimum 2). 2
How It Works
Fractal Detection:
An up fractal is confirmed when a candle has the highest high compared to its neighbors.
A down fractal is confirmed when a candle has the lowest low compared to its neighbors.
Custom logic supports different "ties" — not just strict greater-than or less-than comparisons.
Drawing Lines:
When an up fractal is detected → a red horizontal resistance line is drawn.
When a down fractal is detected → a green horizontal support line is drawn.
Lines are drawn starting at the fractal candle and extend right across the chart.
Dynamic Line Deletion:
Every new candle is checked:
If high > resistance line → delete that resistance line.
If low < support line → delete that support line.
Only unbroken lines are kept on the chart, providing live, updated support/resistance zones.
Visual Elements
Up Fractal: 🡅 Triangular marker (teal color) above the fractal candle.
Down Fractal: 🡇 Triangular marker (red color) below the fractal candle.
Resistance Line: Red horizontal line.
Support Line: Green horizontal line.
Technical Details
Version: Pine Script v6
Arrays Used:
To store and manage active lines (line arrays).
To track the price associated with each line (float arrays).
Error Handling:
Backward iteration is handled using a while loop instead of a for loop to comply with Pine Script restrictions.
Offset Handling:
Fractal markers are plotted with an offset of -n bars for visual alignment.
Possible Enhancements (Future Ideas)
Sensitivity Settings: Allow a small margin (buffer) to define breakouts.
Extend Options: Let users choose between extending "infinite" or "limited" bars.
Custom Alerts: Generate alerts when fractal levels are broken.
Multi-timeframe Support: Detect fractals from higher timeframes on lower timeframe charts.
Example Usage
Swing Trading:
Use the fractal lines to identify and react to key breakouts or breakdowns dynamically.
Intraday Trading:
Spot live support/resistance on smaller timeframes for quick trades.
Trend Reversal Spotting:
Notice when a major fractal level is broken, possibly indicating trend changes.

Williams %R + Bollinger %B📊 Williams %R + Bollinger %B Indicator
This indicator blends two complementary oscillators to provide a clearer view of market momentum, volatility, and extreme zones:
🔹 Williams %R (W%R):
Measures the price’s position within its recent range, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversal points. It reacts quickly to market shifts, making it useful for spotting short-term exhaustion.
🔹 Bollinger %B (BB%):
Shows where the price sits relative to the Bollinger Bands, highlighting volatility expansions, contractions, and pressure around the bands. It helps confirm breakouts, squeezes, and volatility-driven moves.
🎯 What This Combined Indicator Offers
Dual insight: Momentum (W%R) + volatility (BB%).
Higher precision: Identifies areas where both range extremes and volatility extremes align.
Better timing: Provides clearer entry/exit confirmation based on price behavior relative to range and volatility.
🧠 Suggested Use
Look for confluences, such as W%R showing oversold while BB% signals a lower-band rejection or squeeze.
Spot true breakouts when BB% expands while W%R exits extreme zones.
Filter out noise by analyzing the relationship between both oscillators.
Williams KDJ Burst W/AlertsThis script uses the Williams %R , and KDJ indicators in unison to help determine breakouts and reversals. Long and short signals are given when both key components of the indicators turn in the same direction. I built it to be used on the 4 hour timeframe but it may work on others as well. The current bar can change so it is strongly recommended that you set alerts to trigger once the bar is closed. I also recommend putting in a full order on the first long or short arrow instead of pyramiding. PM me to obtain access.

Williams AD + MA“I’ve added an MA to the Williams Accumulation/Distribution (AD) indicator. You can use it to infer potential trend inflection points and to assess the persistence of the trend.”
Williams Fractals with Buy/Sell Signals🧠 Concept:
This indicator is based on the concept of fractal swing highs and lows, commonly used in Bill Williams’ trading methods. A fractal forms when a candle’s high or low is higher/lower than a set number of candles on both sides. This structure helps identify local market turning points.
⚙️ Inputs:
Fractal Sensitivity (swingSensitivity):
Number of candles required on each side of the central bar to validate a fractal.
For example, if set to 2, a swing high is detected when a bar’s high is higher than the previous 2 bars and the next 2 bars.
✅ Features:
Fractal Detection:
Plots white triangles above swing highs (down fractals).
Plots white triangles below swing lows (up fractals).
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the candle closes above the most recent down fractal.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the candle closes below the most recent up fractal.
Signals alternate — a Buy must follow a Sell and vice versa to reduce noise.
Signal Labels:
"BUY" label appears below the candle in green.
"SELL" label appears above the candle in red.
Alerts:
Real-time alerts are available for both Buy and Sell signals via alertcondition().
📌 Use Case:
This indicator can help you:
Detect short-term reversals.
Confirm breakouts or structure shifts.
Time entries with clear logic based on price action.
Williams %R (v.4)This is an upgrade and an update of my Williams %R indicator modification.
As before this implementation is enhanced with CCI in the form of background colors. These colors can be used as a confirmation signal and indication of a current trend. Thee also can be employed in deciding when to enter/exit the market.
Besides, added is a scaling function and Lower/Upper Bound inputs.
Williams Divergent Bar (First Wise Man)Based on Bill Williams' First Wise Man. Bull candles are marked with purple and Bear candles with blue.
Requirements:
- Candle height must be greater than ATR (filter out tiny Doji candles)
- Open and Close must be beyond the HL2 (midpoint) for either Bull or Bear scenarios
- Candle HL2 must be more than 1x ATR from the Alligator Jaw (13-period SMMA, pushed forward 8 periods). The dark blue line in my example.
- ATR is calculated using a 13-period RMA of the true range
Williams Fractals with BreaksThis is a Bill Williams fractal indicator with breaks.
I was turned onto fractals and the importance of their breaks by ChaosTrader63.
I know several version of this indicator have been done.
I chose this as a first project because of it's simplicity , but also because of the poor code quality of some other versions I looked at.
This is the first draft that successfully met my three criteria:
* Must identify all fractals, including simultaneous up/down fractals.
* Must identify fractal breaks with a clear indicator.
* Must provide information on how many fractals
For the first bullet, I wanted to provide a more concise modern version than the boolean logic composition I was seeing in other examples.
The later two required tracking the past which was not present in the other versions I looked at.
Code here can be improved for more uses and better integration, but it is functional and elegant enough to use.
Thanks for checking it out.

Williams Alligator Trend FilterI've edited the normal Bill Williams Alligator indicator to have a color fill that indicates the trend. There is a percentage range filter which checks if the 2 outer lines are enough far away from eachother to indicate a trend. The indicator also checks if the lines are below or above eachother in the right order as a last check to confirm Trend
Williams % + SMAThe indicator is based on finding the price relative to the moving average (SMA). The Williams Percentage Range indicator (%R) is used to filter the signals.
