Sorry sylvester. They won't allow me to put in a picture. I need the bars to paint when it closes on the extreme. High and low. I do have a picture of it.

not exactly sure what you mean.

if you want the bars to paint when the bars close, then you need to set "calculate on bar close" to true.

see attached picture.
