Aroon ForLoop [InvestorUnknown]
Overview
The Aroon ForLoop indicator is designed to calculate an array of Aroon values over a range of lengths, providing trend signals based on various moving averages. It offers flexibility with different signal modes and visual customizations.
User Input
Signal Calculation
Signal Mode (sigmode): Determines the type of signal generated by the indicator. Options are "Fast", "Slow", "Thresholds Crossing", and "Fast Threshold".
1. Slow: is a simple crossing of the midline (0).
2. Fast: positive signal depends if the current MA > MA or MA is above 0.99, negative signals comes if MA < MA or MA is below -0.99.
3. Thresholds Crossing: simple ta.crossover and ta.crossunder of the user defined threshold for Long and Short.
4. Fast Threshold: signal changes if the value of Aroon MA changes by more than user defined threshold against the current signal

The Aroon ForLoop indicator is designed to calculate an array of Aroon values over a range of lengths, providing trend signals based on various moving averages. It offers flexibility with different signal modes and visual customizations.
User Input
- Start Length (a) and End Length (b): Defines the range for calculating Aroon values.
- MA Type (maType) and MA Length (c): Selects the moving average type (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, TMA) and its length.
- Calculation Source (s): Specifies the data source for calculations.
- Signal Mode (sigmode): Offers options like Fast, Slow, Thresholds Crossing, and Fast Threshold to generate signals.
- Thresholds: Configures long and short thresholds for signal generation.
- Visualization Options: Customizes bull and bear colors, and enables/disables bar coloring.
- Alert Settings: Chooses whether to wait for bar close for alert confirmation.

- Bull Color (colup): The color used to indicate bullish signals.
- Bear Color (coldn): The color used to indicate bearish signals.
- Color Bars (barcol): Option to color the bars based on the signal.
Custom Function
AroonForLoop: Calculates Aroon values over the specified range, determines the trend, and averages the results using the chosen moving average type.

- Fast Responses: The Aroon ForLoop indicator is designed for quick identification of trend changes, making it ideal for fast-paced trading environments.
- Moving Average Types: Supports various MA types (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, TMA) for adaptable smoothing of trend signals.
- Combination with Other Indicators: For more reliable signals, use this indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators.
