Post From: "Color bar based on alert" not cooperating with "Overlay (bar)"

I'm trying to reference the overlay (bar) study to make alerts based on another chart I'm doing this using the "color bar based on alert" study. But I am getting inaccurate results I don't think it is the formula that is incorrect, because the same formula gives accurate results when it is based on an "add additional symbol" study within the same chart. I can't use that option because I'm trying to reference a separate continuous futures contract chart. So that's why I am using the "overlay (bar)" study. The formula checks if the bars on the charts are closing in opposite directions: up/down or down/up. The Color bar based on alert study fills the candle orange if either condition is true. Here is my formula: OR(AND(C>O,ID2.SG4<ID2.SG1),AND(C<O,ID2.SG4>ID2.SG1)) I've marked with a blue X on my screenshot the bars that should have been filled orange but for some reason were not. Might have something to with the settings in "color bar based on alert condition" but I have tweaked them without success. Changing "input data" to "last" does nothing.
