WilliamPercentR Chart, Label For ThinkOrSwim

The Williams PercentR is a forward-looking indicator.
ToS provides the following description:
The Williams Percent R is a lower study. It is a momentum indicator that is designed to identify overbought and oversold areas in a non-trending market. The Williams Percent R can be interpreted similarly to the Stochastic oscillators but the Williams Percent R is simply plotted upside-down. Readings in the range of -80 to -100% may indicate that the security is oversold while readings in the 0 to -20% range suggest that it is overbought.

There are three important confluences to observe when analyzing oscillator charts:
