Bullish Harami Pattern:
A candlestick chart pattern in which a large candlestick is followed by a smaller candlestick whose body is located within the vertical range of the larger body. In terms of candlestick colors, the bullish harami is a downtrend of black candlesticks engulfing a small positive white candlestick, giving a sign of a reversal of the downward trend.

Bearish Harami Pattern:
Opposite of Bullish Harami Pattern.

A xts object containing the columns:

`Bull.Harami`	TRUE if bullish harami pattern detected
`Bear.Harami`	TRUE if bearish harami pattern detected

The function filters patterns that look like haramis, without considering the current trend direction. If only pattern in uptrends should be filtered, a external trend detection function must be used. See examples.
