Developed by Peter Martin and Byron McCann in 1987, the Ulcer Index is a volatility indicator that measures downside risk. It’s designed as a measure of volatility, but only volatility in the downward direction, i.e. the amount of drawdown or retracement occurring over a period. Many consider the Ulcer Index superior to the standard deviation and other measures of risk.
The indicator was revised and updated

Thanks Apprentice, this will be a very useful indicator!!!
I will post a request for a MTF MCP Ulcer Index Table List in the appropriate forum.
Thanks for all your time and effort!

Hi, is it possible to create a ‘ Price Inverse ‘ indicator , that I can apply to all pairs?
Example take the USD/JPY I would like it to be displayed as JPY/USD etc.
Thanks in advance. This will also allow me to apply the Ulcer Index to them that way.

I believe that we already have one or two Inverse indicators. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=34005&p=57805&hilit=Inverse # p57805
Applicable for standard Ulcer Index.
Unfortunately for MCP MTF this will not work. This must be hard coded from within indicator.
