Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R [AIBitcoinTrend]๐ฝ Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R (AIBitcoinTrend)
The Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R takes the classic Williams %R oscillator to the next level by incorporating volatility-adaptive smoothing, making it significantly more responsive to market dynamics. Unlike the traditional version, which uses a fixed calculation method, this indicator dynamically adjusts its smoothing factor based on market volatility, helping traders capture trends more effectively while filtering out noise.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time divergence detection and an ATR-based trailing stop system, providing traders with enhanced risk management tools and early reversal signals.
๐ฝ What Makes the Volatility-Enhanced Williams %R Unique?
Unlike the standard Williams %R, which applies a simple lookback-based formula, this version integrates adaptive smoothing and volatility-based filtering to refine its signals and reduce false breakouts.
โ
Volatility-Adaptive Smoothing โ Adjusts dynamically based on standard deviation, enhancing signal accuracy.
โ
Real-Time Divergence Detection โ Identifies bullish and bearish divergences for early trend reversal signals.
โ
Crossovers & Trailing Stops โ Implements Williams %R crossovers with ATR-based trailing stops for intelligent trade management.
๐ฝ The Math Behind the Indicator
๐พ Volatility-Adaptive Smoothing
The indicator smooths the Williams %R calculation by applying an adaptive filtering mechanism, which adjusts its responsiveness based on market conditions. This helps to eliminate whipsaws and makes trend-following strategies more reliable.
The smoothing function is defined as:
clamp(x, lo, hi) => math.min(math.max(x, lo), hi)
adaptive(src, prev, len, divisor, minAlpha, maxAlpha) =>
vol = ta.stdev(src, len)
alpha = clamp(vol / divisor, minAlpha, maxAlpha)
prev + alpha * (src - prev)
Where:
Volatility Factor (vol) measures price dispersion using standard deviation.
Adaptive Alpha (alpha) dynamically adjusts smoothing strength.
Clamped Output ensures that the smoothing factor remains within a stable range.
