This MT5 indicator is used to determine if a forex trading instrument is trending or not.
It is also used to indicate how strong the forex trend is.
It is also used to spot the beginning of a market trend, the name its name which means morning or dawn.
This MT5 indicator has two lines:
- Aroon UP
- Aroon DOWN
Aroon UP
Percentage of time between the start of a time period and the highest point that forex price has reached during that period.
If forex price sets a new high, Aroon UP will be 100 - for each new high it will stay at 100. However, if forex price moves down by a certain percentage, then that percentage is subtracted from the 100 and Aroon UP starts to move down. This means that if Aroon UP stays at 100 then forex price is making new highs but when it starts to move down then forex price is not making new highs.
If however forex price is making new lows for a particular forex price period then Aroon UP will be at zero
Calculation
Aroon UP is a percentage of time between forex price period and highest point.
If you use 10 forex price periods for calculation:
Example 1: Highest forex price was 1 day ago
Then if the highest point was yesterday, i.e. 1 day before then
10 forex price periods minus 1 day= 9
9/10 in percent terms = 90
Aroon UP will be at 90
Example 2: Highest forex price was 5 days ago
If the highest point was 5 days ago then
10 forex price periods minus 5 = 5
5/10 in percent = 50
Aroon UP will be at 50
Aroon DOWN
This is calculated the same as Aroon UP but this time using the lowest point instead of highest point.
When a new low is set Aroon DOWN is at 100 & when a new high is set it'll move to zero.
