Description:
Aroon Oscillator

Formula Parameters:

  • Length : 14

Notes:
This formula requires the AroonUp.efs and AroonDown.efs formulas which must be in the same folder.
Developed by Tushar Chande in 1995, the Aroon is an indicator system that can be used to determine whether a stock is trending or not and how strong the trend is. "Aroon" means "Dawn's Early Light" in  Sanskrit and Chande choose that name for this indicator since it is designed to reveal the beginning of a new trend.
The Aroon indicator consists of two lines, Aroon(up) and Aroon(down).
The Aroon Oscillator is a single line that is defined as the difference between Aroon(up) and Aroon(down). All three take a single parameter which is the number of time periods to use in the calculation. Since Aroon(up) and Aroon(down) both oscillate between 0 and +100, the Aroon Oscillator ranges from -100 to +100 with zero serving as the crossover line.


Aroon Oscillator indicator is calculated according to this formula: 
AroonOscillator = AroonUp - AroonDown
