AROON

Overview​

The AROON indicator is a technical analysis tool used in financial markets to gauge the strength of a trend and predict potential reversals.

Description​

The AROON indicator consists of two lines: Aroon Up and Aroon Down. It is used to measure the number of periods since the highest high and lowest low over a specified time period. This indicator helps traders identify trend changes and potential reversals.

What does this worker do?​

This worker calculates the Aroon Up and Aroon Down values based on the provided high and low price lists over a specified time period. It returns the Aroon Up and Aroon Down values, which can be used to analyze the trend strength and potential reversals.

How to interpret the results​

  • Aroon Up values range from 0 to 100. A high Aroon Up value (above 70) indicates a strong uptrend, while a low value (below 30) indicates a weak uptrend.
  • Aroon Down values range from 0 to 100. A high Aroon Down value (above 70) indicates a strong downtrend, while a low value (below 30) indicates a weak downtrend.
  • When Aroon Up crosses above Aroon Down, it may indicate a potential buy signal. Conversely, when Aroon Down crosses above Aroon Up, it may indicate a potential sell signal.
