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

What you state in your last post is correct and explains what you are seeing. The 2000 tick chart is only going to display the state of the item in the 100 tick chart for the period in which that item is displayed relative to the bar in the 2000 tick chart.

For instance, assuming a perfect alignment between the two charts at some point, such that a new bar starts in both at the same time, you can get a notice for the first bar in the 100 tick chart and it will show on the 2000 tick chart. But when a new bar starts in the 100 tick chart, that condition is reset, and therefore the 2000 tick chart will show the current state of that condition, which is now False.

There is not a way to persist the state of an alert for each bar when overlaying it from a lower timeframe to a higher one, since the higher timeframe chart is made up of multiple bars from the lower time frame.
