You could try this:

Low[0]>Low[1]  &&  High[0]>High[1] && Close[0]>Close[1]   // bullish

High[0]<High[1] && Low[0]<Low[1] && Close[0]<Close[1]  // bearish

0 is the current bar and 1 is the previous bar, a 2 will be the .... bar. Go back from 0.  This is how I decide what is bullish or bearish. I want to see lower lows and lower highs(bearish). Some authors use the close only (lower or higher than the previous close). You will need to decide which is best for your program. I'm not a coder, but I hope this helps you. Chris
