  There’s a strategy based on Ulcer Index at https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/ulcer-index-system/

  Hi,

  many thanks for the reply I used your code to build the ulcer index but for some reason I cant get the Ulcer Index to match the PRT one there are slight differences

  Try this (I coded this from memory so didn’t check syntax or result in PRT):

  N = 14 PD = ((Close - highest[N](close))/highest[N](close))*100 SquaredAverage = sqrt(summation[N](PD)/N) UlcerIndex = sqrt(SquaredAverage)

  1 2 3 4 5

  N = 14 PD = ((Close - highest[N](close))/highest[N](close))*100 SquaredAverage = sqrt(summation[N](PD)/N)   UlcerIndex = sqrt(SquaredAverage)

  @juanj

  Line 3 should read:

  SquaredAverage = (summation[N](sqr(PD))/N)

  1	SquaredAverage  = (summation[N](sqr(PD))/N)

  to replicate exactly PRT’s.

  Thanks Robertogozzi, here is the corrected assembled code @flightclock91 can use:

  N = 14 PD = ((Close - highest[N](close))/highest[N](close))*100 SquaredAverage = (summation[N](sqr(PD))/N) UlcerIndex = sqrt(SquaredAverage)

  1 2 3 4 5

  N = 14 PD = ((Close - highest[N](close))/highest[N](close))*100 SquaredAverage  = (summation[N](sqr(PD))/N) UlcerIndex = sqrt(SquaredAverage)

  When used in a strategy, I couldn’t get this to work, I got error message probacktest.error.’sqr’. It worked fine in an indicator though. However, changing sqr to square did the trick.

  SquaredAverage = (summation[N](square(PD))/N)

  1	SquaredAverage  = (summation[N](square(PD))/N)
