I am running my algorithm, trying to find candles of particular design (See If statement). On one particular day (2016-01-08), I find 2 of those candles (see Logs). However, 1 one of them (at 10:10am) is a Spinning Top. Not what I want. How do I know this one is a Spinning Top?. I set up a different algorithm, looking for Spinning Tops, and this one comes up as in the search. However, I can't figure out how to program to do the opposite: exclude Spinning Tops. I need something like this:
priorBar[1] != Spinning TopI have tried many different approaches without success. Thanks in advance

I found solution to the above problem. I added the following code:
private SpinningTop spinTop = new SpinningTop(); spinTop = CandlestickPatterns.SpinningTop(_symbol); if (spinTop != 0) return;With that, instead of original 2 candles, now only 1 was found, excluding Spinning Top, just as I wanted.
