Description
Hi,
how I can change the bar colours by comparing today's close with previous day close
if today's close >= yesterday close, BLUE
if today's close < yesterday close, RED
the same also for the volume bars, so that they all matched with blue/red colours in bar
the current settings are all comparing the today's close with today's open.
Please advise. thanks

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating mplfinance's bar-color configuration and compare its current open-versus-close behavior with the requested consecutive-close rule; done means price and volume bars consistently use blue when today's close is at least yesterday's and red otherwise.
