/// <summary>
/// WILLR: Williams %R
/// A momentum oscillator that measures the level of the close relative to the
/// highest high for a look-back period. Similar to Stochastic Oscillator but
/// with a reversed scale and no smoothing.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The Williams %R calculation process:
/// 1. Find highest high and lowest low over period
/// 2. Calculate where current close is within this range
/// 3. Scale result to -100 to 0 range
///
/// Key characteristics:
/// - Oscillates between -100 and 0
/// - Similar to Stochastic but no smoothing
/// - Traditional overbought level at -20
/// - Traditional oversold level at -80
/// - Leading indicator for market tops/bottoms
///
/// Formula:
/// %R = -100 * (Highest High - Close) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)
///
/// Sources:
/// Larry Williams - "How I Made One Million Dollars Last Year Trading Commodities" (1973)
/// https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/williamsr.asp
///
/// Note: Default period of 14 is commonly used
/// </remarks>
