Aroon Plus

WHAT IS IT?

The Aroon indicator, created by Tushar Chande, measures trend direction based on time rather than price. It tracks how many bars ago the highest high and lowest low occurred within a given lookback. Aroon Up near 100 means a new high was just made. Aroon Down near 100 means a new low was just made. Crossovers signal trend direction changes based on time structure rather than price deviation. The standard version fires on every cross with no qualification.

INDICATOR PRIME IMPROVEMENTS

Aroon Plus adds zone-based confirmation: bullish crosses only fire when Aroon Up is already above 50, bearish crosses only when Aroon Down is above 50. An ADX filter adds a second qualification layer. The oscillator histogram (Up minus Down) with neon glow provides instant directional momentum reads. The 200 EMA trend badge marks crosses aligned with the macro trend. Regular and hidden divergence detection is included.

HOW TO USE

The primary signal is the Aroon Up/Down cross with zone confirmation and ADX passing. Look for crosses where Aroon Up rises from below 50 to above it — this represents a genuine time-based trend shift, not noise. The histogram above zero indicates recent highs are occurring more frequently than recent lows. Use for swing trading entries where trend duration matters as much as price momentum.

KIT CONFLUENCE

Aroon Plus is the time-dimension layer of the Oscillator Kit. When Aroon, Commodity Channel Index Plus, and Smart MACD all agree on direction simultaneously, the signal has time-based, price-deviation, and momentum confirmation from three independent perspectives. All three share the same ADX filter condition, ensuring they only activate in genuine trending conditions.
