What is the Williams Indicator?

Understanding the Panels

How to Use the Movable Panel

The panel is adjustable based on the bars visible on your chart, making it easy to keep everything in sight. To move the panel, just double-click its border and drag it to your desired location. As new ticks come in, the content will update automatically.

Keep in mind that you can only move it downwards and to the right from the last position. If you find yourself needing to reset it, simply hit the DELETE key, and it will return to the top-left corner of your screen for a fresh start.

Besides the indicator arrows and labels, the panel also features two small icons: a hand and a bell.

The hand icon toggles the manual dragging option on and off. Turning it off will lock the panel in place, while turning it on allows for adjustments.
The bell icon signals when the indicators are moving in the same direction and will automatically turn off after notifying you.

Setting Up the Static Panel

The static panel is simpler and can be positioned using pixel coordinates, allowing for precise placement on your charts.

Both panel types come in two themes to suit your preference: light or dark. You can set the White_Chart_Theme parameter to either True or False, depending on which style you prefer.

Final Thoughts

With this example, you can create your own information panels tailored to your trading needs. Get creative and make trading a more organized and efficient experience!
