In this strategy, a buy signal is generated when the Williams %R is rising above a specified limit (a = -80 in the example). This indicates a potential reversal or correction in the stock's price trend, and a buy signal is generated. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the Williams %R falls below a specified sell limit (b = -20 in the example). This indicates a potential reversal or correction in the stock's price trend, and a sell signal is generated.

THEN GO LONG
AND C(t)-BUY_PR<-BUY_PR*p/100 THEN SELL
