Hi Guys, Been through all the docs and support threads I've been able to find and can't solve this one - I have the following studies configured to display spread on screen: Bid & Ask Prices > Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference - subtracts bid from ask > Text Display for Study - puts the Subtract/Difference calculation on screen > Color Bar Based on Alert Conditions - attempting to color the text display of spread > X Color Bar Settings Based On: text display for study Output When Condition True: Use Input Data Input Data: text display for study Subgraph: Draw Style of Custom Text Width/Size of the same value as the Text Display For study, with a different color selected to color the text (not sure if it matters here that the Text Display for Study takes two color inputs) Alert: =ID[Number of Text Display for Study].SG1 > X this does nothing =ID[Number of Subtract/Difference study].SG1 > X this gets a colored response from the display of the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study in the chart header :) but not the text display So that's where I'm at, can't figure out where I might have flubbed up. Any way to get the displayed text from the Text Display study to respond? Pics attached are GC with X > .2 and the Text Display & header annotated, one screenshot with the spread > .2 and the other not. Thanks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-10-27 19:25:51

The "Text Display for Study" can not be affected by the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition". In the end, what is presented from that study is a drawing and not a subgraph. The only option you have for this would be to modify the source code for the "Text Display for Study" to get the coloring you want.
