Code confusion

I have a paint bar that shows me when we have had an 80/20 trend day (open
in bottom 20%, close on top 20%) which is as follows (Paint bar and
function).   Yesterday's day session in the SP had OHLC (according to
Futuresource) as 1473.50/1490.50/1470.50/1486.20.  Yet the paint bar did not
trigger.  I have not noticed a failure to trigger before and I have been
using it for 3 to 4 years now.   Any ideas what may be wrong or is this just
a TS gremlin.........?

thanks

Philip
