Is there a way to identify a wick at the top or bottom of a candlestick? I would like to use this condition as a simple trade filter, or build a simple indicator.
No, != means 'different from', so the above condition means High different from Close, which would validate a top wick for an up bar.
So some conditions with the same logic would be
Up bar
Close[0]>Open[0]
Open[0] != Low[0]
The first condition (close bigger than the open) checks that it is in fact an up bar.
The second condition (open different from low) checks that there is a bottom wick.
Down bar
Close[0]<Open[0]
Open[0] != High[0]
The first condition (close smaller than the open) checks that it is in fact an down bar.
The second condition (open different from high) checks that there is a top wick.
