The Larry Williams %R

The Larry Williams %R is a version of the stochastics oscillator. It consists of the difference between the high price of a predetermined number of days and the current closing price, which difference in turn is divided by the total range. This oscillator is plotted on a reversed 0 to 100 scale. Therefore, the bullish reversal signals occur at under 80 percent, and the bearish signals appear at above 20 percent. The interpretations are similar to those discussed under stochastics. (See Figure LR1.)

I just wish to say one thing. Deleting whole thing isn't good idea even you feel doing it. I say that from position that blogs like yours documenting now 5 years journey are inspiration to starting forex traders. I remember that few years ago when I wasn't forex trading at all but was on demo that I found your blog. It was so interesting that I read through all posts about forex trading. You don't get anything with deleting about forex trading and some others may lose. Let it be win win situation even if you don't post anymore about forex trading

Analysis is very important in forex trading, although it is almost never easy to do and usually takes a lot of time. Trading Analysis makes decision making a lot easier and the outcome is usually satisfactory. When start forex trading, analysis is very important because you can’t rely only on the money management strategy to succeed. You can forecast the direction of the market basing on your technical and fundamental strategies to see their effectiveness.
