A) Larry Williams Set Up Tools
These tools are the cornerstone of how I find what I call setup markets. I use these
indicators on stocks and commodities. All of these indicators were personally created by
me.

These are the indicators my current Larry TV subscribers and of course students have
seen me use in “today’s” market situations. This package includes all of the following
indicators.

Williams COT NetPositions OI

As I see it, this is the KEY set of data to predict when there will be large market moves. It
all begins with the weekly Commitment of Trader (COT) report data. I started following
this report in the very early 70’s. Very, very few have more experience with this data.

Each week I look at the total net positions of the Commercials, Large Traders, and Small
Speculators relative to total Combined Open Interest.

It is the relationship of the three parties to Open Interest that matters. We have also
scaled the Open Interest and Small Traders so visually you can see in a quick glance what
is taking place in the markets. For me, this is where setup market evaluation all begins.

Here is an example in Copper.

 Copper Williams COT NetPositions OI

To get an excellent handle on my COT tools and why they are so different from what you
find on the internet, you can refer to my book (Wiley, 2005) Trading with the Insiders,
Secrets of the COT Report. My online courses take a deeper dive into these tools than my
book.

Williams COT Comm Index

COT, again, is short for Commitment of Traders and Comm is short for Commercials.
The COT Comm Index is my proprietary index to determine when the Commercials
(hedgers) are significantly long or short a market based on the data released by the CFTC
each week.

My students will immediately recognize this index. Do not confuse it with the general,
run of the mill COT indicators you see on the web; mine is different. I taught this index
to my students before Google existed.

I personally use this index every week and now so can you. Generally speaking when it is
high expect rallies; low expect declines.

Williams COT LrgSpec Index

LrgSpec is short for Large Speculators. While most people focus only on the
Commercials, I have found it is very helpful to know what the Large Speculators are
doing in the marketplace.

These days, for the most part, the Large Speculators are commodity funds. I use this
indicator to see when they are heavily long or short using the government supplied COT
data.

It is hard to see the nuances of their action in the raw data so I have created this unique
proprietary index.

When it is high they are fully invested and declines are not far away; when low they are
heavily short, there is a rally coming.
 Copper Williams COT Large Speculator Index

Williams COT SmlSpec Index

Hardly anyone pays attention to the Small Speculators. I do. SmlSpec is short for Small
Speculators... these are public traders who, as you have probably heard, lose about 90%
of the time.

This is a measure of public sentiment, as it represents small traders as defined by the

CFTC. I use this index to get a sense of what the public trader is doing, and look for
times when the CFTC report shows they have more longs than shorts (to set up shorts) or
vice versa. These guys are usually losers, so I want to do the opposite of what they do.

Williams WILLCO

This indicator shows the total Commercial Net Position as a percentage of Open
Interest. This helps you understand just how much of the Open Interest the Commercials
have; how intense their buying or selling has been.

It is fully explained in my book, Trade Stocks & Commodities with the Insiders, Secrets
of the COT Report. Published by Wiley in 2005, it was the first book ever devoted
to the COT Report.

Williams POIV

I fully explained this indicator in a Futures Magazine’s issue (link at end of section). I’ve
always liked the idea of On Balance Volume (popularized by my friend Joe Granville). This
takes it to another level; as we combine price, open interest and volume all into one measure
of accumulation.

Williams Insider Accumulation Index

Commodity traders will use my POIV index to detect accumulation distribution in their
markets. Stock traders have a disadvantage. Since there is no Open Interest for stocks,
they need a tool as powerful as POIV.

To that end, I have created my Insider Accumulation Index. It works for stocks, as well
as commodities. However, it has been developed primarily for stocks. I have tested and
traded it on markets throughout the world.

What you will be looking for, as you can see from the following example, is divergence
between price action and the index.

Williams Sentiment Index

I first featured my own advisory sentiment index in the 1999 book for Bloomberg entitled
New Thinking in Technical Analysis: Trading Models from the Masters.

After more than a decade of real time experience with that index, I developed a better
formula and index to measure this part of market sentiment.

If you ever used my old sentiment index, I’m sure you will like this one better as it is
more responsive with an enviable track record. It is now my favorite tool to visually show
me advisors sentiment. Sells come when the index shows too much bullishness and buys
when low indicating no one is bullish.

We provide this tool for most actively traded Stocks and Commodities (Futures).

B) Larry Williams Timing Tools

Here are my favorite market timing tools. They have been used by traders throughout the
world (my books have been published in 10 languages). I have used many of these for over
half of a century; they are time tested!

Williams Ultimate Oscillator

This tool combines three time periods, which you can vary if you choose, into one index.
Now you can see the effect of short, intermediate and long-term influences in one oscillator.

To get a full understanding of this tool, read my detailed article on the Williams Ultimate
Oscillator published in Stocks & Commodities Magazine:
http://www.ireallytrade.com/newsletters/ULTI.pdf

Williams VIX FIX

The VIX Index has become a very popular trading vehicle as well as market indicator. My
version of it, fully explained in an Active Trader magazine article (see link at end of section),
can be applied to any market. Since the VIX Index only goes back a few years, my proxy
version (VIX FIX) of this index can be taken back to the beginning of trading for any stock,
market average, or commodity. This will help you understand the actual VIX relationships
better.

Williams Volatility Trend Stop

Want to be in phase with the trend? This unique guide identifies trend changes for you. It
compares favorably with expensive trend systems and strategies.

Williams Cycle Forecast

Williams Cycle Forecast takes the 3 most current dominant cycles and blends them into
one forecast. It shows when tops and bottoms (reversals) should take place and what the
trend should be.

You are given a 3 month in advance projection of what price should do. Study the charts
to see the power of this approach for yourself. The objective is to give us a sense of the
intermediate term moves.

I use this tool on daily charts.

Williams True Seasonal Index

My True Seasonal Index gives you the true seasonal pattern for any market, be it a stock
or commodity. Most stocks and commodities do have seasonal influences. Traders should
learn to take advantage of these patterns.

This is one of the only accurate seasonal indexes available to traders. Why? Because all
other seasonal studies “run the numbers” then curve fit them to the past! The seasonal
pattern they show for 2010 includes data from 2011, 2012, 2013, etc... My “True
Seasonal” uses only data known up to the current time and then is pushed forward on
charts for the next year.

This tool is not just restricted to weekly data. You can use this indicator on daily bars as
well.

Helpful Hints for the Cycle Forecast and True Seasonal

You will need to reformat two properties in TradeStation to ensure the seasonals display
properly.

To draw a seasonal into the future, TradeStation needs enough bar spacing on the right
side of the chart.

To get the space

required, right click
on your chart. Select
“Format Window”.
Then change the
Space to the Right to
253 bars.

You need to make

sure you have
enough data to draw
a reliable seasonal.
The more data the
better. Use the @
symbol with your
market symbol or if
you want to use the
front month, please
include the @
symbol so that it merges with the previous contracts.

Next, right click on your chart and select

“Format Symbol”. In the settings tab, change
the years back to a very high number so that
TradeStation will give you all the data it has
for your market. Something high, like 90
years will work well.

That should be all you need to get the

seasonal drawn on your chart.
Williams %R

I developed this indicator in 1966 --- half a century ago --- this is my favorite short term and
intra-day indicator. Many people refer to my indicator as %R or % Range. My book "How I
Made One Million Dollars Last Year... Trading Commodities" (Windsor Books, 1967) fully
explains Williams %R.

Williams Advance Decline Line

This is the cumulative line of advances minus declines on a daily or weekly basis. I’ve
looked at this every day since the mid 1960’s! I like this as a general measure of what is
really happening in the stock market.

C) Larry Williams Traders Tools

Williams Dollar Risk

These next two tools are Larry Trader’s Tools.

Is there anything more critical in trading than money management? In my opinion, no

there is not. That's why I feel that it is paramount that you can quickly and easily
determine how much money you may make or lose in a trade.
I have developed a tool that will let you see exactly how many dollars per contract you
can profit or lose. Use this for your money management and position sizing. Managing
your risk is so crucial for all traders. Let this tool do all the work for you.

Using the trendline drawing tool, draw a trendline on your chart from any two price
points. In the right panel, click on the "recalculate" button, and in a fraction of a second
you'll have the dollar difference between those two points.

Williams FND

Do you know when First Notice Day is for your current trades? Has TradeStation ever
kicked you out of your contract on first notice day?

You really need to know when that is coming, so you can either exit as you choose or roll
into the next month correctly. I have a tool that will help you stay one step ahead.

The First Notice Date indicator shows the most active contract, and when its first notice
date is.

So, basically this tool shows you when to roll your positions into the next contract (from
the active one that's shown in the text).

Refer to the next chart to see an example of this tool.
