I have a TICK-NYSE chart in Region 2 of an ES Chart (the study overlay study is ID1) and Horizontal Line Study (ID2) also in Region 2. I am using the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study and would like the bar on the main price graph to be colored when the TICK-NYSE reaches Line 1 (from below) or Line 2(from above) of the horizontal line study. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using the following: =OR(CROSSFROMBELOW(ID1.SG4, ID2.SG1)),(CROSSFROMABOVE(ID1.SG4, ID2.SG2)) ID1.SG4 is the last value of the TICK-NYSE Chart and and ID2.SG1 and ID2.SG2 are line 1 and 2 of the horizontal line study, respectively. |

The problem is clear. You are using the closing price of the bar. So only if that crosses will the condition be true.

This is the problem. You cannot base it on the just last trade/close price. You also need to consider the high and the low.
