        As you may understand, the definition of bearish and bullish may be clear to you, but may not be so obvious for some other people.

        For example:

        • Is it bullish because the high of the day is higher than the high of previous day?

        There are many more variants ... but for example for that case you would compare: self.data.high[0] against self.data.high[-1]

          I mean that the candle is increasing is bullish ( its open is lower than its close).

                There is no indicator, you have to code the comparison of the points you want as pointed out above

                @backtrader said in Bearish and bullish candles?:

                self.data.open < self.data.close
