WPR {TTR} | R Documentation |
William's % R.
WPR(HLC, n = 14)
HLC |
Object that is coercible to xts or matrix and contains High-Low-Close prices. If only a univariate series is given, it will be used. See details. |
n |
Number of periods to use. |
If an High-Low-Close series is provided, the indicator is calculated using the high/low values. If a vector is provided, the calculation only uses that series.
A object of the same class as HLC
or a vector (if
try.xts
fails) containing the William's %R values.
The William's %R calculation is similar to stochastics' fast %K.
The value for William's %R will be 0.5 whenever the highest high and
lowest low are the same over the last n
periods.
