The AroonHorn_HTF_Signal is a powerful tool for traders using MetaTrader 5, helping you identify trend directions and making informed trading decisions. This indicator works by generating signals based on the AroonHornSign and visually represents these signals on your chart, complete with alerts and audio notifications when it’s time to make a move in the market.

When a trend is ongoing at the selected bar, the indicator displays a right arrow, with its color indicating the trend direction. If the trend shifts, you’ll see a diagonal arrow that reflects the new trading direction.
