I'm attaching photos but it's to show standard deviation of high volume and high delta, So if a bar goes colored then I know that that bar had significantly higher volume and delta compared to the standard deviation of all other bars on average. please assist

What exactly is not working? We really can not tell from what we are seeing.

To begin with, there is an alert showing in your Chart Header for the HVHD-CANDLEDOWN so you are getting the alert.

We are not sure what the white interiors are in the image - is that a normal coloring or is that occurring due to the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study?

The HVHD-CANDLEDOWN is only suppose to color down candles instead it's coloring down and up candles. The other study is suppose to color up candles. The white interior is occurring due to the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study. attached is a photo of another chart of how it's suppose to look. I can also send my chartbook if that helps

You need to look at your alert conditions and determine why it is not working as you expect it to do. It is beyond the scope of our support for "programming" help, which this is. You obviously understand how to put together the pieces. We would just be going through the same process you are to determine what is wrong.

An easy solution, however, would be to just add a condition that forces the situation with the "Down"/"Up" bars. In other words, add the following into your AND function to force a coloring only in a down situation:
C < O

Where C is the close and O is the Open (if the close is less than the open then it is a down bar). If you need to take it to the extreme to cover the situation where the Open and Close are the same, then you would need to look at the previous bar, so you would have the following additional check:
IF(C = O, C[-1] < O[-1], 0)
