Aroon Oscillator

A technical indicator that reflects the strength of a trend.

Overview

The Aroon Oscillator is derived from the Aroon Indicator. The Aroon Oscillator is constructed by subtracting Aroon(down) from Aroon(up). Since Aroon(up) and Aroon(down) oscillate between 0 and +100, the Aroon Oscillator oscillates between -100 and +100.
