The Aroon Oscillator is intended to highlight short-term trend changes by comparing the number of periods since the last high with the number of periods since the last low.
Since the crossover rules for this oscillator frequently give false signals, I have opted for a more general approach: When the oscillator passes above the 50 line, the background of the indicator will turn green, indicating a general short term buy condition. When the oscillator passes below the -50 line, the background of the indicator will turn red, indicating a general short term sell condition. Use this indicator in combination with other indicators and price signals to identify short term trend changes.
This version improves on existing versions by:
Adding background colors to indicate general buy/sell conditions
More visually appealing
Uses the latest version 5 features
Well documented source code that conforms to the style guide
