Developed by Tushar Chande in 1995, "Aroon" is a Sanskrit word meaning "Dawn’s Early Light". Unlike momentum oscillators that track price velocity, Aroon measures the number of periods since a stock reached its recent high or low within a specific timeframe (usually 25 periods).
It consists of two distinct lines:
Aroon Up: Measures the strength of the bullish trend by tracking how recently a new high was made.
Aroon Down: Measures the strength of the bearish trend by tracking how recently a new low was made.
When a line is near 100, it means a new high or low was recorded very recently, signaling a powerful trend.
High Aroon Up (near 100): Strong bullish trend.
High Aroon Down (near 100): Strong bearish trend.
Crossovers: When Aroon Up crosses above Aroon Down, it signals potential bullish momentum; the reverse signals bearish momentum.
Flat Lines: Both near 50 indicate consolidation or sideways movement.
Example: NIFTY 50 (15‑Minute Candles)
From the attached screenshot:
Aroon Up: ~64.29%
Aroon Down: ~42.86%
Interpretation: Market shows moderate bullish bias, but not a strong trend.
Scalper’s Strategy (ATM Options):
If next candle closes green above support with Aroon Up > Aroon Down → Buy CE (Call Option).
If next candle closes red below support with Aroon Down > Aroon Up → Buy PE (Put Option).
If both lines hover near 50 → Avoid trade (sideways market).
Scalper's Exit Strategy
Take Profit: Exit when the lines cross again in the opposite direction or when the lead line drops below 50, indicating the "dawn" has ended and the trend is exhausting.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss just below the recent swing low (for CE) or above the swing high (for PE) recorded at the time of the Aroon crossover.
Scalper’s Edge
Advantages: Quick trend detection, useful for intraday options.
Limitations: False signals in choppy markets; best used with candlestick confirmation.
Best Practice: Combine Aroon with moving averages or volume indicators for higher accuracy.
