# AROONOSC: Aroon Oscillator
# AROONOSC: Aroon Oscillator
The Aroon Oscillator condenses the dual-line Aroon system into a single zero-centered value by computing $\text{AroonUp} - \text{AroonDown}$. This distills the temporal battle between fresh highs and fresh lows into a bounded $[-100, +100]$ metric where positive values indicate bullish recency dominance and negative values indicate bearish. Unlike recursive indicators that accumulate floating-point drift, the Aroon Oscillator is purely windowed — its value depends only on data within the lookback period, making it stateless in the long term and immune to initialization poisoning. The step-function output reflects discrete events (new extremes appearing or aging out) rather than smooth price trajectories.

In strong trends, the oscillator can hold +100 or -100 for sustained periods. This indicates a continuously refreshing extreme — the market is making a new high (or low) on virtually every bar. This is not saturation; it is the temporal signature of a parabolic move.
## Performance Profile
### Operation Count (Streaming Mode)
AroonOsc = Aroon Up Aroon Down, computed via the same deque-based window extremum tracking.
**Post-warmup steady state (per bar):**
| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Aroon Up + Down computation | 1 | ~26 | 26 |
| SUB (AroonUp AroonDown) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| **Total** | **Aroon+1** | — | **~27 cycles** |
AroonOsc is essentially free on top of Aroon. ~27 cycles per bar.
### Batch Mode (SIMD Analysis)
| Operation | Vectorizable? | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| Aroon pipeline | Partial | See Aroon profile |
| Subtraction | Yes | VSUBPD once both Aroon arrays exist |
Trivially parallelizable subtraction step after Aroon computation.
### Quality Metrics
| Metric | Score | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **Accuracy** | 10/10 | Exact arithmetic; integer positions |
| **Timeliness** | 8/10 | Crossover signals arrive with N/2 average lag |
| **Smoothness** | 5/10 | Oscillator can swing sharply as extremes roll through the window |
| **Noise Rejection** | 5/10 | No smoothing; single-bar outliers shift the signal |
