SSL Indicator For ThinkorSwim

Outstanding, thanks everyone! Works like a charm now. I would have spent the better part of my natural life trying to figure that all out. I don't know enough to code, but adding colors to watchlists seems pretty basic, right? Guess not! Thanks again.

Well, here's a bummer... after installing the custom quote code per this thread to color the background cell for SSL indicator signals, it failed its first real test! It doesn't seem to work. After last week, there were a number of stocks that triggered to the downside, but no joy... no cell backgrounds colored red.
Can anyone re-look at the code provided here and give me some clue as to what's wrong? https://usethinkscript.com/threads/ssl-indicator-for-thinkorswim.299/post-121312

Sorry, there were no syntax errors in this script.
The most common error that members make is setting the watchlist to a different timeframe than your chart.

The only other way you are seeing missed signals, would be because this watchlist script is not the same as your signals script.

You would need to provide a shared chart link with the chart containing the signal and the watchlist that doesn't.

I have been using the SSL channel 48 ema with the 13 ema.
When the 13 ema crosses outside the channel, I look for a candle pull back and rejection, then buy
It keeps me out of some chop and the emas start to separate more after the break.
Is there a way to get an alert to my phone when it crosses above or below the channel.
