Happened to me when I built a numbers bars study. You can't use the rectangle tool since it draws from index to index or datetime to datetime, which always fall on the middle of a bar. The only workaround I found is to draw a vertical line and give it some width. Not the Vertical Line Tool.... just a simple line with a start and an end that make it vertical. There is still a problem that if you change the chart's bars spacing/width, your "bars" won't change width since they are of course hard coded to a fixed pixel width. If you do need it to follow changing bar spacing/width, its more complicated. you need to monitor the chart's spacing thru acsil, and give your bars a width option for every chart spacing (if-elseif-elseif-elseif etc). From memory I remember needing to do something like this (though with horizontal lines) since it wasn't as simple as finding a single factor to do "my bar width = chart spacing * factor". Good luck.
