Post From: Color Bar on Alert using Study/Price Overlay seemingly not alerting all conditions

I am using a 100 tic chart as the source and a 2000 tic as the destination. In the 100 tic chart I have added the volume study. I want to alert on the 2000 tic chart when the 100 tic chart volume exceeds 300. I added the Study/Price overlay study to the 2000 tic chart, configured it to use the 100 tick chart and the volume study on the 100 tic chart. In the 2000 tic chart I then added the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, configured it to use the Study/Price Overlay study as input. In the Alert formula I pointed the overlay study which was/is ID:7 and I used the SG1 value. Here is the alert formula I am using =ID7.SG1>300. It does alert some conditions correctly but it misses many others. I have far more situation where the 100 tic volume exceeds 300 than is alerted to on the 2000 tic chart configured as described above. It does not appear to me simply a mis-aligned bar/time formation situation. There are instances when a 100 tick bar volume exceed 300, but no 2000 bar is alerted that is before, during or after the respective time of the 100 tick bar with its volume exceeding 300. I thought I would get an alert on a 2000 bar if a 100 bar's volume, during the formation of the 2000 tick bar, exceeded my configured 300 volume alert value. Am I missing something?
