How do I see if price moved 1R from a prior bars range difference?

I want to paint bar green for instance once a bars distance achieves 1R in next 1 or more bars. So I need the bar difference plus 2 ticks and then reference that to see if next bar achieves that same number of ticks or difference.

Thank you

To color a bar based on a condition, use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study. Refer to the following:

Thank you, but how do you reference, for instance, the prior bars range (H-L) plus two ticks, and then compare the currently forming bar to see if it has met that range difference?

All of the information for this is on the "Alerts and Scanning" page at the following link:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning

To test if the current bar range is more than the previous bars range plus two ticks would be the following:
=ABS(H - L) > ABS(H[-1] - L[-1]) + 2 * TICKSIZE
