Percent B chart illustration

Formula

Percent B is computed from price, volume, breadth, or macro prints depending on class (Volatility). See the description for the defining inputs.

How to read

Read Percent B as a labeling tool: it describes a condition (trend, stretch, participation, or macro). Confirm with price structure, not the indicator alone. This entry is a study card — not every encyclopedia model has a live chart overlay.

Limitations

Percent B can lag, repaint (some drawings), or stay extreme in trends. It is not financial advice and not a broker signal.

Typical settings

Use the author's original defaults first; change one parameter at a time.

Percent B is part of the ClearPath Encyclopedia of Indicators — 190 models explained with standard SVG illustrations, so you can study an indicator before you put it on a live chart.
