Williams %R is the raw Stochastics - 100. The exact formula would depend on your particular settings. A 10-Period Williams %R would be:

STOC10 - 100

Bruce,
I am trying to mimic %R for 30 period, 20-oversold, 80-overbought,  So I created stochastics 30 period, but still doesn't quite look ok.  Seems to be off when comparing to other software.  Any ideas? 
You mention above for example: STOC10-100.  What is the "-100" in that,  The defaut for stochastics is
14,3,3.  So, I replaced 14 by 30.  I got rid of the last 3 so I just have blue curve.  What about that first "3"- Sal

ncshockey,
Stochastics runs from 0 to 100. Williams %R runs from -100 to 0 (it can't cross through 20 and 80, it crosses through -20 and -80). Williams %R is Stochastics minus 100. Williams %R does not have a Moving Average applied as part of its calculation. You need to set the SK and SD Periods both to 1 for it to look right.
