I am using Time Range Highlight to color my candlestick bars in main price graph (chart region 1) for 2 hour periods. How do I color my Volume bars in chart region 2 to match main price graph using Time Range Highlight? I can't setup the Time Range Highlight study correctly to color the volume bars.

Is there another way to make volume bars match color of main candlestick?

I does not work for volume bars. So I have a study for the candlesticks and one for the volume bars. I want color of candlesticks and volume bars to match for defined time period.

Attached is a Study Collection that does what you want. The trick is to set the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition to be based on the Volume study, and then set the alert to test against the Time Range Highlight.

For information on how to use a Study Collection, refer to the following:
