About The Trading Indicators
The Aroon_Oscillator.ex4 custom indicator is a modified Aroon indicator and as such it is trend following.
It defines the strength of a trend in focus and its likelihood to last.
It oscillates between -100 and 100, offering market signals for all currency pairs and on all timeframes.
The r_Gator.ex4 is an indicator that takes after the Alligator MT4 indicator (since they show comparable values for the MA periods), but the r_gator only produces its signal earlier than the Alligator.
