Post From: How Do I Accurately Reference Study/Price Overlay From Higher Time Frame Charts For Alerts?

I've been trying to use a Study/Price Overlay that takes a Band from a different time frame chart (in this case, a Range chart) and overlays it onto a 1 minute chart. I want to be able create an alert (Color Bar Based on Alert Condition) that checks whether this band is higher or lower on the higher time frame but I can't figure out the syntax. Using something like ID:#.SG1 > ID:#.SG1[-1] doesn't work because on the lower time frame chart (1 min), the band does not update as often and so the above syntax is being read as false since, according to the lower time frame chart, the band is in the same spot. Hopefully that makes sense, here is an image I made to help explain. http://s23.postimg.org/3sbjcj6e3/overlay.jpg Is this possible using a Color Bar Based on Alert Condition syntax?
