Just an additional thought. You may consider using something like
T = C - Ref(C,-1)
which you can also get using the ROC function, and then as rule use
T > 0
or
T < 0
or whatever applies. The reason for this is that you now have
constructed a new indicator that you can plot and inspect and lag
and so on.
