<p>The Aroon Indicator is a technical analysis tool used to identify trends in financial markets. It was developed by Tushar Chande and is based on the concept of 'Aroon' which means 'dawn' or 'new beginning' in Sanskrit.</p>

<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>The Aroon Indicator consists of two lines: Aroon Up and Aroon Down. Both lines oscillate between 0 and 100.</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Aroon Up</strong> measures the time since the highest high in a given period (usually 25 periods). It indicates the strength of the uptrend.</li>
  <li><strong>Aroon Down</strong> measures the time since the lowest low in a given period. It indicates the strength of the downtrend.</li>
</ul>
<p>When Aroon Up is above 70, it suggests a strong uptrend. Conversely, when Aroon Down is above 70, it suggests a strong downtrend. When both lines are below 30, it suggests a range-bound or consolidating market.</p>

<h2>Why It Matters for Traders</h2>
<p>The Aroon Indicator helps traders in several ways:</p>
<ul>
  <li>It <strong>confirms trends</strong> by showing the strength of the current trend.</li>
  <li>It <strong>identifies potential trend changes</strong> by showing when the current trend is losing strength.</li>
  <li>It <strong>can be used to set stop-loss orders</strong> based on the highest high or lowest low in the given period.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Let's consider a 25-period Aroon Indicator on a EUR/USD chart using <strong>MetaTrader 5</strong>:</p>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Time</th>
    <th>Aroon Up</th>
    <th>Aroon Down</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>10:00</td>
    <td>85</td>
    <td>15</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>11:00</td>
    <td>70</td>
    <td>25</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>12:00</td>
    <td>55</td>
    <td>45</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p>At 10:00, Aroon Up is at 85, indicating a strong uptrend. At 11:00, Aroon Up drops to 70, suggesting the uptrend is losing strength. At 12:00, both lines are around 50, indicating a potential trend change.</p>
