Without all of the code, based upon the assumptions in the following, the background will only color green or red when long or short occur at a bar.

def tradetime = yes;
def upper = BollingerBands("num dev dn" = -1.0, "num dev up" = 1.0).UpperBand;
def lower = BollingerBands("num dev dn" = -1.0, "num dev up" = 1.0).LowerBand...
