Hi there,

When do you expect this to happen? As far as I remember, one of these conditions will always be true

            if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last() > _supertrend.UpTrend.Last())

            {

                return TrendType.Bullish;

            }

            else if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last() < _supertrend.DownTrend.Last())

            {

                return TrendType.Bearish;

            }

Best regards,

Panagiotis
