| Question | Please give the definition of 'Ulcer Index - UI'. |
|
Hello Peter, A technical indicator that measures downside risk, in terms of both depth and duration of price declines. The Ulcer Index (UI) increases in value as the price moves farther away from a recent high, and falls as the price rises to new highs. The indicator is usually calculated over 14 days, with the UI showing the percentage drawdown a trader can expect from the high over that period. The greater the value of the UI, the longer it takes for a stock to get back to the former high. The indicator is calculated in three steps: 1. Percentage Drawdown = [(Close - 14-period High Close)/14-period High Close] x 100 2. Squared Average = (14-period Sum of Percentage Drawdown Squared)/14 3. Ulcer Index = Square Root of Squared Average |
