As a Trader wanting to learn how to trade the Stock and Options Markets, one of the key areas I identified in my early years, to improve my own trading success, was the need to quickly identify newly forming trends, instead of the top of the trading range, and how to define low risk entry points within an established trend.
So I would like to share with you, and review, a trading system product that has made a big difference to my own trading, and forms the cornerstone on my own ETF Trading System.
The product that I’m referring to, is the Percent R DVD homestudy (aka. Williams %R), which was created by 2007 Trading Hall of Fame inductee Price Headley.
So here is the problem…
How does a trader know when a stock is starting a new strong trend, or if its overbought at the top of the range. In my early days this was a question I struggled to answer. Check out the chart below to see what I mean…
If you note the candle that is circled above on the chart. Now, can you imagine that you are studying this chart on that particular day, with the circled candle on the hard right edge of the chart. Would you know at that point, that this ETF was likely to blast off over the next month? In my early trading days, I wouldn’t have known. I would have thought the ETF was over bought and was likely to move lower, especially after a doji candlestick.
But by learning Price Headleys Percent R methodology, you can know at the very beginning that stocks and ETF’s like this one, are likely to develop into a strong trend, so you can jump on-board. Or maybe you would like to wait for a Pull back, and gain a low risk entry with his “Percent R Retest” method (which is my favorite).
There is even Percent R exit strategies, which works in well just like the Entry Strategies, by locking in profits on the way and telling you when to get out when the trend is over.
So who is Price Headley ?
Price is the founder of stock market education company “BigTrends.com”, and is also a highly respected professional trend trader of 20 years & an educator within the industry. He is famous for his market timing techniques, technical analysis techniques and has even created some of his own chart indicators.
Price is often featured in the media talking about the markets on CNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg TV, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Forbes, Investor’s Business Daily, USA Today & has even authored a top selling trading book called Big Trends in Trading.
So what is Williams %R ?
Williams %R is an oscillator indicator similar to Stochastic and RSI, which was originally created by Larry Williams. The indicator was first created to measure both overbought and oversold conditions in stock price.
But this is where things get interesting…Price uses Percent R is totally different way to rest of the crowd (or conventional thinking).

Happy Trading,
Trend Hunter.
This is very imformative i enjoyed reading and looking at your different stratergies. i will revisit and touch base to get the information from this site and let my mate know about it as well.
I’m a big fan of assessing candle stick trends. Although I had never heard of Price Headley. Sounds like a potential guru of identifying trends and even contrarian trends.
I have been using stochastics for a while now and found it to be good at showing an early change of trend. I will have to have a look at williams %R now and compare them against each other.
Hi David,
In my experience, I found that stochastic to be a bit slower getting me onto strong the trends, and it didn’t exactly help me define low risk entry points as well.
Thats the way to do it though, run the two indicators side by side, to see what one offers over the other.
Thanks for this information. My husband is the buddy trading in the family and I will make sure he check this out.
Thanks again
