Leon Wilson explained the Wilson Relative Price Channel in the July 2006 issue of TASC.
The indicator uses the Relative Strength Index to draw trading zones on the chart.
Price percent change initially acted as the basis for channel drawing on the original version of the Wilson Relative Price Channel indicator.
With this indicator’s modification, the ATR now acts as the basis for channel drawing.
This gives the indicator the opportunity to work on any time frame (considering its adjustments to the chart’s timeframe via the ATR calculation).
The zones (pale green and linen) can still act as overbought and oversold zones as originally intended.
