Details

Aroon up (down) is the elapsed time, expressed as a percentage, between today and the highest (lowest) price in the last n periods. If today's price is a new high (low) Aroon up (down) will be 100. Each subsequent period without another new high (low) causes Aroon up (down) to decrease by (1 / n) x 100.
