C/MAX - 1 is not really a drawdown, so I don't see how it can produce an ulcer index.
Suppose MAX for a period is $100, and C today is $105.
Then C/MAX = 105/100 - 1 = 1.05 - 1 = 0.05
But the drawdown for this example should be zero, since price went up.
If a stock hits a new high everyday during a period, the ulcer index should be zero, right?

Tech support suggested that I post here and ask for a PCF be written for me for what I am trying to do. But I hope future versions will have this capability built in.
I plot Relative Strength of a stock vs. SP-500 (and I also have Relative strength vs. Industry and Sub-industry).
I also use a 10- and 40- period moving averages of relative strength.
(1) When I right click the relative strength ("RelS vs SP-500"), there is no "create condition" in the dropdown menu. So I looked to see if I could create conditions of the moving averages of Relative Strength instead:
(2) When I right click the "Avg 10" I can create a scan condition, and add column to watch list and sort, but the column ends up empty eventhough I know the condition is satisfied for many stocks in the watchlist. When I save the condition to the library and then add the condition as a column to the watchlist, the column is still empty.
(3) When I right click the "Avg 10" and select "show values in watchlist," I get a column that has just 3 dots "..." for each stock in the watchlist.
