Sierra Chart Help - Show text under candle bar

I am trying to show Ask ratio above bar and Bid ratio below bar if they are above a specific value of 0.5.

The problem is, only the "IF" argument is working.

What I am trying to do is: If ask ratio is greater than 0.5 show above bar, if Bid ratio is greater than 0.5 show below bar.

How can I make both arguments to work in the same indicator?

This is my code:

Code

float AskVolM = ((sc.AskVolume[sc.Index] / sc.BidVolume[sc.Index]) - 1);
float BidVolM = ((sc.BidVolume[sc.Index] / sc.AskVolume[sc.Index]) - 1);

// Input_limit is set to 0.5
if (AskVolM > Input_Limit.GetFloat()) 
 {
    Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] = AskVolM;
    Array_TextPosition[sc.Index] = sc.High[sc.Index] + (Input_OffsetInTicks.GetInt() * sc.TickSize);  // top of text
 }
 else
 {
     Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] = 0;
 }

 
 if (BidVolM > Input_Limit.GetFloat())
 {
    Subgraph_BidMAsk[sc.Index] = BidVolM;
    Array_TextPosition1[sc.Index] = sc.Low[sc.Index] - (Input_OffsetInTicks.GetInt() * sc.TickSize);  // top of text
 }
 else
 {
     Subgraph_BidMAsk[sc.Index] = 0;
 }

Hi,
Please share your full code.
Make sure the subgraph..DrawStyle is set to DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_ON_HIGH / DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_ON_LOW, for the Ask/Bid subgraphs.

Thanks for your reply @Anka Software.

I was using Custom Value At Y, and it seems this Draw Style can only be applied to Subgraph[0].

My Subgraph_DeltaValue was Subgraph[0] and Subgraph_BidMAsk was Subgraph[1].

I changed the code to this and it worked

Code

float AskVolM = ((sc.AskVolume[sc.Index] / sc.BidVolume[sc.Index]) - 1);
float BidVolM = ((sc.BidVolume[sc.Index] / sc.AskVolume[sc.Index]) - 1);

// Input_limit is set to 0.5
if (AskVolM > Input_Limit.GetFloat())
	 {
		Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] = AskVolM;
		Array_TextPosition[sc.Index] = sc.High[sc.Index] + (Input_OffsetInTicks.GetInt() * sc.TickSize);  // top of text
		Subgraph_DeltaValue.DataColor[sc.Index] = Subgraph_DeltaValue.PrimaryColor;
	 }
	 else if (BidVolM > Input_Limit.GetFloat())
	 {
		Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] = BidVolM;
		Array_TextPosition[sc.Index] = sc.Low[sc.Index] - (Input_OffsetInTicks.GetInt() * sc.TickSize);  // bottom of text
		Subgraph_DeltaValue.DataColor[sc.Index] = Subgraph_DeltaValue.SecondaryColor;
	 }
	 else
	 {
		 Subgraph_DeltaValue[sc.Index] = 0;
	 }
