Hello,

How can I reference one study in a chart unto another a chart? I want to use higher timeframe date on a lower time frame chart without switching back and forth. I found the price overlay study and it was able to pull the study from one chart to the other one. Issue is that it's not looking proper. attached are photos

When you are taking the data from a higher timeframe to a lower one (in this case a 40-36-96 inv renko to a 20-12-48 inv renko). Then you will end up with the stair step like you are seeing in your case. This is because the higher timeframe data is the same across the bars in the lower timeframe that make up the time in the higher timeframe.

In other words, we do not see any issues.

ok in that case, is there a way I can have a vertical colored(red/green) highlight on the bar or up/down arrow on the lower time frame chart that's based off the higher time frame? if so, how would I go about that ?

The general tool to color a bar is the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study. Refer to the information here:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

But, you will need to have the information you want from the higher timeframe chart in the chart on which you want to set the alert condition. You will probably still need to use the Study/Price Overlay to do this, but you can hide the study if you do not want to see that information.
