Hi there I have tried to set up two colour background alerts - 1) when all 4 of my stochastic k lines >80 2) when all 4 stochastic k lines <20 The background shading seems to correctly have been applied in some cases but not all. When I use replay, an audio alert is sounding correctly in these instances, but still no shading is being applied. Could you please advise what I'm doing wrong? I have included screen shots of both alert criteria and an example of where the alert should have triggered (note I have used alt+v/chart values for tools to validate the criteria has definitely been met). In the chart I have marked two cases with a vertical yellow line where the shading should be applied but is not. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-12-15 22:45:29

We really can not say exactly what is occurring, as we do not know what the values of %K are at the highlighted bars. Our best guess is that the alert condition is being met some time while the bar is being built, which is why you are getting the alert, but if the condition is not True at the time the bar closes, then the shading will not be there when you are looking back at the data.
