Williams %R Hook Reversal Strategy (C# Version)

The Williams %R Hook Reversal follows the Williams %R indicator as it quickly snaps back from an extreme. When the reading moves above -20 or below -80 and then hooks toward the center, the prior thrust is likely exhausted.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 172%. It performs best in the forex market.

The strategy buys when %R reverses higher from oversold while price presses new lows and sells when it hooks downward from overbought during new highs.

A tight percent stop controls risk and trades exit once %R hooks in the opposite direction or the stop triggers.
