The Williams %R + RSI + EMA indicator provides a comprehensive momentum and trend analysis toolkit by combining multiple classic oscillators and trend-following components into a single visual window. It allows traders to monitor the Williams %R, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and a customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) alongside trend backgrounds based on Ichimoku and EMA crossovers.

Usage

This tool can be used to identify overbought/oversold conditions and trend strength through the confluence of its components.

  • Momentum Tracking: Users can observe the Williams %R (yellow) and RSI (red) to identify momentum shifts. When both are above the midline (50), bullish momentum is present.
  • Trend Confirmation: The indicator features a dynamic background based on "Cross Tendance." Depending on the settings, the background color reflects the relationship between the Tenkan/Kijun lines or two user-defined EMAs. Green indicates a bullish trend, while red indicates a bearish trend.
  • Signal Refinement: An EMA is plotted on top of the oscillators (defaulting to the Williams %R source) to help filter noise and provide crossover signals.
  • Zones: If "3 Zones" is enabled, the background is divided into clear horizontal sections to highlight extreme levels.

Details

The script integrates several calculations to streamline market analysis:

  • Williams %R: Calculated as a percentage ranging from 0 to 100 (inverted from the standard -100 to 0 scale for better alignment with RSI).
  • RSI: A standard Relative Strength Index calculation.
  • EMA Source: The EMA is unique in that it can be applied to the Williams %R, the RSI, or an average of both, providing a "signal line" for the chosen oscillator.
  • Trend Logic: The background uses logic from the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (Tenkan/Kijun) or specific EMA pairs (e.g., 9/18, 20/50) to provide a macro view of price direction.

FAQ

How do I interpret the background colors?

The background colors represent the current trend based on the "Cross Tendance" setting. Generally, green represents a bullish crossover (e.g., Tenkan > Kijun) and red represents a bearish crossover.

Can I change the EMA to follow the RSI instead of the Williams %R?

Yes, in the EMA settings group, change the "Source" dropdown from "Williams %R" to "RSI."
