Post From: What's the criteria for determining an up or down candlestick bar?

The system uses the following logic:
- If current candle Open is greater than the Close: Down Bar
- If current candle Open is less than the Close: Up Bar
- If current candle open and close are equal, check the current bar Open against the previous bar close and use the above criteria. Keep going backwards until there is a definite answer.

Note that the above will not apply if you have the option for "Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other >> Up/Down Coloring for OHLC Based on Previous and Current Close" enabled. Refer to the following:
