Indicator Example Chart (EUR/USD H1)
The indicator plots WPR values on a separate chart window, typically ranging from -100 to 0.
When the WPR line enters the oversold zone (below -80), it signals a potential buying opportunity.
Conversely, when it reaches the overbought zone (above -20), it suggests a potential sell.
How To Trade Using This Indicator
- Watch for WPR zones: Observe when the WPR line crosses into oversold or overbought areas.
- Buy signals: WPR crosses below -80 and starts moving upward. Ideally confirmed by a bullish trend filter or moving average.
- Sell signals: WPR crosses above -20 and turns downward. Confirmed by bearish momentum.
- Stop loss: Place just beyond the recent swing high (for sells) or swing low (for buys).
- Take profit: Target the next support or resistance level or use a fixed pip range.
- Strategy enhancement: Combine DAT WPR with a trend indicator or EMA filter to increase trade probability and reduce false reversals.

DAT WPR + Keltner Channel with Signals Strategy
What This Strategy Is About
This method blends two powerful tools in one approach. The DAT WPR Forex Indicator is a Williams’ Percent Range (WPR) oscillator that highlights overbought and oversold zones.
You’ll see colored signal lines oscillating around defined thresholds, making it easier to spot reversals.
The second tool, the Keltner Channel with Signals Indicator, plots volatility-based bands with sharp arrow signals when the price breaks the channel boundaries.
Together, they let you trade potential reversals with added structure and trend context.
Buy Rules
- Wait for the DAT WPR line to rise above the oversold threshold (typically crossing back above the 20 level), indicating a potential upward reversal.
- Confirm with a blue ‘Buy’ arrow or star from the Keltner Channel indicator, showing bullish strength.
- Enter long at the close of the signal candle.
- Place a stop loss just below the recent swing low or beneath the lower channel line.
- Exit when the DAT WPR heads back toward overbought or when Keltner signals a reversal.
Sell Rules
- Wait for the DAT WPR to drop below the overbought threshold (crossing down under the 80 level) to signal a possible downward turn.
- Confirm with a brown ‘Sell’ arrow from the Keltner Channel, reflecting falling momentum.
- Enter short at the close of that confirmation candle.
- Set stop loss above the recent swing high or above the upper channel line.
- Exit when DAT WPR moves higher or Keltner flips to bullish.
