Custom Aroon Indicator

The Custom Aroon Indicator MT4 is a powerful, non-repaint trading tool specifically developed for the MetaTrader 4 platform. Designed to identify trend direction and strength, it plots two main lines on the chart—Aroon Up and Aroon Down—to measure how recently a high or low price occurred.

By analyzing the relationship between these two lines, traders can easily identify trend reversals and confirm pullback entries. This enhanced version of the standard Aroon indicator perfectly suits MTF forex charts and stock charts, making it an ideal choice for both scalping and intraday trading strategies.

How the Custom Aroon Indicator MT4 Works

The Aroon Up line (blue) measures how long it has been since the highest high occurred, while the Aroon Down line (red) measures the time since the lowest low.

When the Aroon Up crosses above the Aroon Down, it suggests a potential uptrend is forming. Conversely, when the Aroon Down moves above the Aroon Up, it signals a possible downtrend.

In the example of an EUR/USD H1 chart, the crossover strategy works beautifully for trading pullbacks. Traders can look for bullish crossovers during uptrends to go long and bearish crossovers during downtrends to go short.

Trading Strategy: Price Pullbacks with Aroon

Identify the Trend

Before entering a trade, confirm the overall market trend using the Aroon lines.

Aroon Up > Aroon Down: Bullish trend.

Aroon Down > Aroon Up: Bearish trend.

Wait for a Pullback

A pullback happens when the price temporarily moves against the trend before continuing in the same direction.

Confirm with Custom Aroon Indicator

Enter buy trades when the Aroon Up crosses above the Aroon Down after a small retracement.

Enter sell trades when the Aroon Down crosses above the Aroon Up after a minor pullback.

The Custom Aroon Indicator MT4 also includes an oscillator that measures the distance between the two lines, giving traders additional insights into trend strength. The wider the gap between the lines, the stronger the trend momentum.
