Zig Zag
The Zig Zag filters out small movements in price to highlight trends. It looks for price moves greater than the threshold level and plots straight lines between those points. The Zig Zag is more of a visual tool than an indicator. It is non-predictive; in fact, the formula looks forward in time to find the zig zag points. The purpose of the Zig Zag is to make chart patterns clearer.

Williams %R
The Williams %R is similar to an unsmoothed Stochastic %K. The values range from zero to 100, and are charted on an inverted scale, that is, with 0 at the top and 100 at the bottom. Values below 20 indicate an overbought condition and a sell signal is generated when it crosses the 20 line. Values over 80 indicate an oversold condition and a buy signal is generated when it crosses the 80 line.

Welles Wilder Volatility System
This function calculates the components of the Welles Wilder Volatility System. The components are as follows:
ARC – the Average True Range (ATR) times a constant.
SIC – Significant Close, the extreme favorable close price reached while in the trade.
SAR – Stop And Reverse point, a point defined by the distance between the ARC and SIC. The point at which a trade should be made to close the current position and open a new position in the opposite direction. This occurs when the price breaks above/below the SAR

Welles Wilder Summation
The Welles Sum is the Welles Wilder method of creating the moving sum of a data series. Each value is the sum of the last n periods. Welles designed his formula to be easily computed by hand or with a simple calculator. The numbers will vary slightly from a simple (arithmetic) sum. For consistency with the original formulas, the Welles Sum is used in the calculation of Welles Wilder’s indicators (the +/-DI and by extension the DX, ADX, ADXR).
