The logic for this technical analysis indicator:

#UpBar
#
# Returns 1 if the bar is an upbar, 0 if not.
#
# Accepts up to four columns as arguments.  Only one column is compulsory.  For the bar to be considered an upbar,
# all of the passed arguments must have a value greater than the value on the previous bar.  
# The use of optional paramters allows this indicator to flag higher highs, or higher highs and higher lows, for example.
# Passing one column (e.g. Low) just looks for higher lows.  Passing (High,Low) returns 1 if both the high and low are higher.
