HA paint bars not showing current candle

New comment
 

I need an alert for HA colour change but it should not be checking the current candle so I changed the code and the alert works but it is not paintiung the current HA candle.

Any ideas on what to change?

Maybe I need an indicator for the candles and an indicator for the alerts?
