What SteadyEdge calculates
This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.
- Registry filter IDs: williams_r
Exact formula
HH = max(H, p); LL = min(L, p)
Williams %R = -100 * (HH - C_t) / (HH - LL)
if HH = LL: value = -50
Parameters, defaults, and bounds

Data, timing, and warm-up
Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.
Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
