Juststocks and all, This seems to be the best(easiest to understand) explaination I've found so far. Cross over hight has nothing to do with strength, just the direction the trend change will be. up over down, we go up and down over up, we go down. The longer the up stays up and the longer thse down stays down, the stronger the trend.(how long ti lasts, not how high it goes. And parellel lines show little trending change, a time of accumulation.-----------------------
Interpretation
There are basically three conditions that you look for when interpreting the Aroon indicator: extremes at 0 and 100, parallel movement between Aroon Up and Aroon Down, and crossovers between Aroon Up and Aroon Down.

Extremes: When the Aroon Up line reaches 100, strength is indicated. If the Aroon Up remains persistently between 70 and 100, a new uptrend is indicated. Likewise if the Aroon Down line reaches 100, potential weakness is indicated. If the Aroon Down remains persistently between 70 and 100, a new downtrend is indicated.

A strong uptrend is indicated when the Aroon Up line persistently remains between 70 and 100 while the Aroon Down line persistently remains between 0 and 30. Likewise a strong downtrend is indicated when the Aroon Down line persistently remains between 70 and 100 while the Aroon Up line persistently remains between 0 and 30.

Parallel Movement: When the Aroon Up and Aroon Down Lines move parallel with each other (are roughly at the same level), then consolidation is indicated. Expect further consolidation until a directional move is indicated by an extreme level or a crossover.

Crossovers: When the Aroon Down line crosses above the Aroon Up line, potential weakness is indicated. Expect prices to begin trending lower. When the Aroon Up line crosses above the Aroon Down line, potential strength is indicated. Expect prices to begin trending higher.

This seemed much more like MDI than MACD as I 1st thought. As a matter of fact I found this statement :-------------------
In some ways, Aroon is similar to Wilder's DMI system (and the Aroon Oscillator is similar to Wilder's ADX line) however the Aroon is constructed in a completely different manner. Divergences between the two systems may be very instructive.

All and all, Aroon 5 day matches GTELs PPs movements better than any indicator I've found and I will continue to study it closer, while using it as my main indicator for GTEL TA.

Success!
