BAR direction/color

 

Anybody knows how to find bar direction (up or down) in MQ4.

I suppose the long way is to compare Open[] & Close[] values, but may be there is a shortcut in MQ4?

there are no shortcuts to determine it, believe me i've looked. to make things easier though, i've learned if you have a way to make something work, like using open and close, or making stolcastics with seperate moving averages, USE IT.
