- A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.
Remarks
The indicator will return a value between 0 and 100, where a higher value indicates that the highest high was achieved more recently. Persistent values between 70 and 100 are said to indicate strength in the asset and in conjunction with a low range (i.e. 0-30) in the Aroon Down indicator, indicates an upward trend.
Evaluation of the Aroon Up Indicator
The Aroon Up indicator is given by:
100(n - (number of days since last highest high over n days))/n
where n is the number of days being considered (a reasonable default value for n is 14).
