Add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study. You must include the ID# of the Volume study: = ID1.SG1 <=1000 where ID1 is the Volume study; edit as needed. You could also use this: = V <=1000

Do you mean put this on the alert of the color bar based on alert condition ? Also on the guideline they say "Set the Input Data Input to the Subgraph in the study you want to custom color". But in the volume study it's not possible to configure the input data

Do you want to color the price bar, or the volume bar?

The volume bar. Do you know if the bar stay colored in the past ? I mean when i apply the study if i Scroll my chart on the past to backtest, the alert bar will be colored ? because it is mainly for this reason that I want to color them, to be able to spot them easily Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-10-27 20:46:28

Yes To color the Volume bars: - Set the Chart Region to the same as the Volume study. - Set 'Output When Condition True' to Use Input Data. - Set 'Input Data' to Volume - Set the Draw Style to Bar - Use this formula on its Alerts tab: = V <=1000 - (Remove the formula in the Volume study.) Be sure that this color bar study is below the Volume study in the Studies to Graph list.

- Set the Based On to the <Main Price Graph> - Set the Study Subgraph Reference Value When True to ID0.SG1 All of the other settings are OK. The color bar study must be below the Volume study in the Studies to Graph list. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-10-28 14:23:14
