Post From: Spreadsheet syntax vs Alert syntax for price bar colors

This spreadsheet formula:
=IF(OR(E3>B3,AND(B3>E4,B3=E3)),1, IF(OR(E3<B3,AND(B3<E4,B3=E3)),-1,T4))
taken from here:
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula that Matches the Coloring of Up and Down Price Bars
correctly finds price bar colors.

This same formula, converted to Alert syntax for use in the Spreadsheet Formula study, incorrectly gives the inverse color at doji price bars:
=IF(OR(C>O,AND(O>C[-1],O=C)),1, IF(OR(C<O,AND(O<C[-1],O=C)),-1,ID1.SG1[-1]))
where ID1 is this Spreadsheet Formula study.

Can you offer an explanation why please?
