I have issues to draw horizontal lines using the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study, as you can see in the attached chartbook ID.3 & ID.4 draw only vertical lines, what am I missing here?

You have the Draw Style set to "Background Transparent", therefore you are getting a transparent vertical line which is the background for the bar.

What exactly do you want to accomplish?

I'd like to have a horizontal line covering the high and low of the bar extending to end of day instead of the current vertical line

To do what you want, you would start by setting the following in the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition":
- Output When Condition True: Use Input Data
- Input Data: High
- Draw Extension Lines at Color Bar Value: Extend to End of Day

You can either keep the Color Bar Subgraph Draw Style set to "Background Transparent" or you can set it to "Ignore" if you do not want that.

Doing the above will give you the line at the High of the bar where the alert is true, with the color and width defined by the "Extension Lines" subgraph.

To get a line at the Low, you would need another copy of the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study with the Input Data set to "Low", but with the other Inputs set the same and the same Alert Condition.
