This strategy uses the Aroon Oscillator to generate trading signals when the oscillator crosses predefined levels. A long position is opened when the oscillator crosses above the down level (default -50). A short position is opened when it crosses below the up level (default +50). Opposite signals close or reverse the position.
Details
Entry Criteria:
Long: Aroon oscillator crosses upward through the down level.
Short: Aroon oscillator crosses downward through the up level.
Long/Short: Both.
Exit Criteria:
Reverse signal automatically exits or reverses the current position.
Stops: None.
Filters: None.
Timeframe: Default 4-hour candles (configurable).
Parameters
AroonPeriod – lookback period for the Aroon oscillator (default 9).
UpLevel – upper threshold for sell signals (default +50).
DownLevel – lower threshold for buy signals (default -50).
CandleType – candle timeframe used for calculations (default 4 hours).
