I dont think im calculating this correctly. Can someone who is much smarter than I take a look please?
In the second step you calculate Drawdown Percent and square it:
DP = ((Close Max - Current Close) / Close Max * 100)^2
set{draw_down1, HC - close}
set{draw_down2, HC * 100}
set{draw_down3, draw_down1 / draw_down2}
set{dp, draw_down3 ^(1/2)}

a. What is 'HC' supposed to be? seems like it needs to be defined in its own set statement.
b. There are at least 2 ways to square a value in SF
1. use the power command (found in the announcements forum "Many More Math Functions")
set{dp, pow(draw_down3,2)}
2. set{dp, draw_down3 ^ draw_down3}
Hope this helps,

2. set{dp, draw_down3 ^ draw_down3}
Nope - this raises draw_down3 to the power of draw_down3, not squaring it (unless by chance draw_down3 = 2)
Either use
(draw_down3)^2 or
draw_down3 * draw_down3

Not sure how I got a caret in my previous post instead of an asterisk as my test code was:
"set{dr, .5 * 100} add column dr
show stocks where close is above 5.00 and add column pow(dr,2)
set{dr2, dr * dr} add column dr2"
but anyhow Village Elder is correct, it should be a multiplication asterisk for my example 2.
Sorry about that,
Ed S.

@Ed and Village elder... thank you for help. I’m posting the whole filter Im trying to create as I’m still having a problem with step 3 coming out to zero, which is not correct and that causes step 4 to be wrong also.. I’ve read all through the forum and still don’t see where I’m going wrong. Help is appreciated.

volume > 1234567

/* 1. First you have to get the maximum close price in the analyzed period:
Close Max = Highest Close in the selected period (p1) */
set{HC, max(high, close 14 days ago)}
/*set{HC,max close(14)} */
add column hc
/*2. In the second step you calculate Drawdown Percent and square it:
DP = ((Close Max - Current Close) / Close Max * 100)^2 */
set{draw_down1, HC - close}
set{draw_down2, HC * 100}
set{draw_down3, draw_down1 / draw_down2}
set{dp, draw_down3 * draw_down3}
add column draw_down3
/* 3. In the third step you apply simple moving average to the Drawdown percent with the same bar period which was used to get maximum close price:
DPma = SMA(DP, p1) */
set{dpma,cma(dp,14)}
add column dpma
/*4. In the last step you calculate UI as square root from smoothed Drawdown percent calculated in step #3:
UI = SQR(DPma) */
set{UI,cstddev(dpma)}
add column UI

@pa247,
At first glance, it seems that you are getting the max of today's High price and the closing price of 14 days ago instead of the highest closing price of the past 14 days.
Also, it appears that at the end you are setting "UI" to be the custom standard deviation of 'dpma' and I believe you want to get the square root of 'dpma'
Later on today I'll see if I can modify your filter so it gets what you want.

@pa247,
Is the filter below what you are after?

If you want the root of a function simply raise your measure to the decimal equivalent of its fraction. For example ...
the 1st root of the CLOSE = close^(1/1)
the 2nd (square) root of the CLOSE = close^(1/2)
the 3rd (cube) root of the CLOSE = close^(1/3)
the 4th root of the CLOSE = close^(1/4)
