Need a column in watchlist denoting Price(close) is between 18 EMA and 24 EMA

[GreenGuru]

Newbie with code

def EMA19 = expAverage(close,19);
def EMA21 = expAverage(close,21);
def EMA23 = expAverage(close,23);

plot output =EMA19 > close and close < EMA23;

 

[moxiesmiley]

def EMA19 = ExpAverage(19);
def EMA21 = ExpAverage(21);
def EMA23 = ExpAverage(23);

plot scan = Between(close, min(EMA19, EMA23) , max(EMA19, EMA23));

how to make it a watchlist column?
How to show YES, NO values if its between 19 and 23.

If I put this- its showing 1 and 0s but not sure if thats right

Thanks! It worked.
is there a way to see if the current price is between 19 and 23 Daily EMA. I think currently its showing the previous day's close price?
possible?

@moxiesmiley
using between() , only works when the 2nd parameter is less than the 3rd.
plot scan = Between(close, EMA19, EMA23);

if ema19 is greater than ema23, then it won't work, it will never be true, even if close is between the values.
for this to always work, min and max would have to be added.

plot scan = Between(close, min(EMA19, EMA23) , max(EMA19, EMA23));

Also on TOS, If I keep editing the scan criteria. The existing alerts work? or Do I need to recreate the alert every time I modify,

How do I add this to a scan. Below would work?

def EMA19 = ExpAverage(19);
def EMA21 = ExpAverage(21);
def EMA23 = ExpAverage(23);
plot scan = Between(close, min(EMA19, EMA23) , max(EMA19, EMA23));

Can anyone help with this.
This is giving me a list. But the stocks are not trading between their 19 and 23 EMA. Any idea how I can make this to work

1. I want to find the stocks trading close to their 21EMA on a DAILY
2. I want it to run multiple times a day so that it can alert me. because that's my entry point. So essentially a) Find daily 21 EMA value. say 100 b) on a 15 min price close is between the calculated daily EMA value(98-102)

much appreciated
