I am trying to write a simple colour bar based on alert. I want the bar to be coloured when 4 lines are in a certain order. Some of the bars are coloured at the wrong time. I want the bar to be coloured (see screenshot) when the purple line>cyan line>yellow line>green line. The purple line is ID20 The cyan line is ID16 The yellow line is ID13 The green line is ID3 Here is my code =ID20.SG2>ID16.SG2>ID13.SG2>ID3.SG2 I have set my Input data in "settings and inputs" to last. ID20, ID16,and ID13 are installed on the chart using "Study/Price Overlay" study from longer term range charts. The Destination chart is also a range bar chart. I have included a screen shot with some comments. Thanks for any help received.

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately, the changes suggested did not change how the bars are coloured in any way. I believe I need to use "Study Overlay-OHLC Study" in order to have proper results. I will try this. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-05 12:06:02

Some of the bars are coloured at the wrong time. Since you are using the Study/Price Overlay study, there will be times when this occurs. This is because the destination chart bars don't always align with the source chart bars timestamp. In the overlay study, the Data Copy Mode and the Bar Time Matching Method settings are the settings that affect this. However, there is no combination of these settings that will always eliminate all anomalies in all situations. The Data Copy Mode needs to be set to Use Earliest... if bars are not time-based. Auto Trade System Back Testing: Performing Back Testing on a Trading System That Uses Multiple Charts Then you can try Nearest Match or Containing Match for the Bar Time Matching Method to get the best results.
