I have read in some old-time SF posts that the indicator “Ulcer Index” is not available in StockFetcher.

Is that still the case? If it is, does anyone know how to program SF to create Ulcer Index?

I would like to run a SF script that would allow me to include a “UI” column next to stock data, as follows:

Fetcher[
Symlist(spy,qqq,iwm,dis,aapl,lmt)
Add column Ulcer Index
]

I was working off the same post and ya beat me to it. Glad we were thinking along the same lines. I noticed the SF version produces a much smoother Ulcer Index, not sure why though.

We seem to be a few people who are still around to help in a nice way.
Cheers,

Thank you Ed (nibor100), Cheese and Xarlor...

I’ll work with the script you provided. Well done! I’ll be seeing Ed tomorrow at a monthly meeting we both typically attend.
