I am new with drupal. I have installed ultimate cron in Drupal 7. now I have created a php script to be a mycron.php, my problem is that I don't know where can I insert my cron job in my Drupal's ultimate cron.

I am looking where can I insert mycron.php to ultimate cron module page but I failed.

I also look to the site where i downloaded it but it is not there. http://drupal.org/project/ultimate_cron

Does anyone have an idea how to solve my problem?

Usually you don't add custom cron scripts (full .php files) but defining the job that needs to be done using hook_cron()

If you create a module with "myname" as the name and you can now define a function like

function myname_cron(){
//do stuff here
}

You can use full Drupal functions here as a fully boostrapped Drupal instance available for you. and Ultimate Cron (or other cron-related modules) can take care of load balancing now.
