I used the Color Bars Based on Alert Condition on a chart. It works fine for my usual contracts except it does not work for any of the foreign exchange contracts. To make sure, I used the same chart and the print was correct for ES,CL,GC,ZB,YM,NQ. But none of the currency contracts showed the indication. I also checked this on a forex pair chart and got no print.

In the screenshot the stars indicate the condition is met (there are 2 separate instances of the study, one which searches for conditions both above the criteria and the other for both below
