The following code should suffice for a Custom Watchlist Column...

def xUp = ExpAverage("data" = CLOSE, "length" = 5) crosses above ExpAverage("data" = CLOSE, "length" = 8);
def xDn = ExpAverage("data" = CLOSE, "length" = 5) crosses below ExpAverage("data" = CLOSE, "length" = 8);
AddLabel(yes, if xUp then "xUp" else if xDn then "xDn" else " ", Color.CURRENT);
AssignBackgroundColor(if xUp then Color.GREEN else if xDn then Color.RED else Color.GRAY);

I am trying to do something extremely similar so I didn’t want to create a new thread. The column shows all results as gray if I use this exact code and it shows all results as black if I use my code attached screenshot.

For my particular instance, I am trying to create a column in my watchlist that shows “bullish" if EMA4 is currently above EMA21 and “bearish” if EMA4 is currently below EMA21 for specific timeframes. Any help with this syntax would be huge.

Since your script says 'crosses above,' it is only showing the green and red colors if the EMAs are currently crossing over each other, which means it only triggers on the exact bar the crossover happens not on every bar after. Here is a working version.

def ema4 = ExpAverage(close, 4);
def ema21 = ExpAverage(close, 21);

def isBullish = ema4 > ema21;
def isBearish = ema4 < ema21;

AddLabel(yes, if isBullish then "Bullish" else if isBearish then "Bearish" else "Neutral", if isBullish then color.GREEN else if isBearish then color.RED else color.LIGHT_GRAY);

If you want to change the timeframe the EMAs calculate on, just adjust the aggregation period in the column settings.
