Sorry did silly with high and low, right is zero above and below -100, buy signal -90 or -80 from the bottom up, and selling -20 or -10 from top to bottom. This is correct. grateful

It's been known for years. I reported it to Fidelity long ago but there's no interest in fixing it. Description of the issue and a workaround could be found here:

Open Issues > (756) Williams %R readings contradict standards

As can be seen, it's very easy to fix this in Strategy code.

Sure, the FAQ has been expanded with a code snippet. Note that it takes actually fixing the indicator in WL6 for the changes to apply to rule-based strategies or to charts. The proposed workaround is inherently code-based:

You will have to manually edit any code like shown above for example purposes.

Thank you. I was wanting to make a strategy that uses W% R and seeing where you put the -1 in the formula, was easy. Thankful.
