[Programming Help] - Alert condition based on subgraph being true or present

I'll be brief. I am trying to set a color bar based on alert condition for a study where the subgraphs are as follows:

UpBar (SG1) Color bar
DownBar (SG2) Color bar

This simple study (Bricks Trend) changes the bar color to green for an UpBar and red for a DownBar based on a trend.

I use color bar based alerts frequently with different crossovers etc, but this one has me stumped because there is no other condition other than the subgraph being present/active. I thought "=ID1.SG1" or "=C=ID1.SG1" for the alert condition in the "color bar based on alert" study would work, but that changes all the bars on the entire chart to the alert color. When I do the same for "ID1.SG2", absolutely nothing happens.


This is probably so simple but I can't seem to figure it out. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use SG3, where the green bars are 1 and the red bars are 0.

Tip: When you want to know what a study outputs, add the Spreadsheet Study study, and look in columns AA and above.

That worked. I was making a small error. I really appreciate the input.
