WPRslow: A Williams Percent Range Signal for Slow Trends

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

WPRslow is described as a semaphore-style signal indicator built from Williams’ Percent Range oscillator. Its stated purpose is to identify slower-moving trends, distinguishing it from an approach aimed only at short-term price fluctuations. The document identifies an original MQL4 implementation and gives its publication date in the MetaTrader CodeBase, but does not explain the indicator’s calculation, signal rules, parameter choices, or how a trader should act on its output.

The available description is therefore only a brief orientation to the indicator’s intended use. It supplies no charts beyond a figure reference, trading examples, market coverage, backtest, or evidence that the signals improve results. Readers would need the implementation or fuller documentation to assess how the semaphore signals are generated and to test their reliability. The indicator should be treated as a trend-identification concept rather than a demonstrated standalone strategy.

Key ideas

  • WPRslow is based on the Williams’ Percent Range oscillator.
  • It presents signals in a semaphore-style format.
  • Its stated purpose is to identify slower trends.
  • The document gives implementation provenance but no calculation details or performance evidence.
