Does Williams %R bounce actually work on UBER? We tested it
We ran Williams %R bounce on UBER through walk-forward testing and a 100-run random-entry gauntlet. 4 of 4 unseen periods positive. Beat 98 of 100 random-entry runs.
You gave up raw return for a higher win rate and a shallower drawdown. This setup is about timing and staying out of trouble, not beating the index.

This strategy made a solid 134% profit over 22 trades, and the ride was fairly steady with a high win rate of 86%. The worst moment was a 19.25% drawdown that stretched from March to August 2024, which is where the strategy hurt the most. The entry timing is a huge factor here, since your real entries outperformed 98% of random entry runs, meaning the signal to buy at the Williams %R bounce is carrying the result rather than the exit. The edge was also consistent, showing up as profitable in all four walk-forward test periods, so it wasn't just one lucky stretch. Overall, this is a reliable setup that makes money steadily, but you have to be ready to sit through a multi-month dip of nearly 20%.
