I have 
been wondering this as well. What about the common indicator "beta". I do not 
see it in MS. Does anyone know the formula? There are other ones as well "ulcer 
index". I have also heard that there is one that measures the volatility down 
but not up. After all, we want volatility up but not down.

  interested in identifying stocks that have “smooth” transitions up and down, 
  meaning when a stock is increasing day to day that the lows of the previous 
  day aren’t violated, and vice versa.  
  Also, stocks that have a tendency to increase or decrease multiple days 
  rather than reversing all the time.
