A variation of Williams' %R

["Rajat K. Bose" <rajatkbose@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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-oversoldindicator.

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

Thanks in advance.

(100*(C-BBandBot(C, Periods, S, NumDev))/((( BBandTop(C, Periods, S,
NumDev))-(BBandBot(C, Periods, S, NumDev)))))
