Definitions
In plain terms
A value of 100 means the selected lowest low occurs at the current endpoint under the declared tie rule.
Technical
The implementation must define window length, periods-since convention, low field, tie handling, and first-ready index.
Scope
It measures low recency, not the depth of the low or future downside.
Formula
Aroon Down = 100 * (n - periods since lowest low) / nA^\downarrow_t=100\frac{n-k^L_t}{n}| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
n | Aroon period | periods |
k^L_t | periods since selected lowest low | periods |
Output unit: percent
Examples
- A governed lesson calculates or identifies Aroon Down only after its parameters, state, timing, and edge cases are declared.
Common misconceptions
- It measures low recency, not the depth of the low or future downside.

Limits: The pinned version supports reproducibility but does not make every platform's tie convention equivalent.
