The Volatility Adjusted WPR MT5 forex indicator is a type of momentum signals indicator, and WPR is short for Williams Percent Range.
Talking about the Williams Percent Range, the Volatility Adjusted WPR Metatrader 5 forex indicator acts in a similar manner.
Its dual colored (dodger blue and Indian red) line oscillates around the zero center line, while pushing above the 30.00 and below the -30.00 extreme levels.
The simple volatility component is incorporated into the indicators’ code to ease the process of volatility adjustments, which is why the indicator is quite successful when in use for short/long term trading.
Indicator activity above the 30.00 mark is tagged overbought, while when it runs below the -30.00 level, it is said to be oversold.
As a final point, the Volatility Adjusted WPR uses low lag smoothing to smooth up results, but this feature can be turned off when the smoothing/slowing period get a value that is ≤1.
