Above average volume watchlist label

I found a nice volume code on here a while back, dont remember who created or posted it, however I do not take credit for the code. I am trying to edit.
I'm trying to make this code give me a sense of volume throughout each day, with early high volume possibly indicating institutional buying, line 7, 10 and 11 are giving me errors. can anyone see what I might be doing wrong?

Code:
#start code

def AvgVol50 = AbsValue(Ceil(Average(volume(period = “DAY”), 50)));
AddLabel(yes, ” AvgVol 50D=” + AvgVol50, Color.LIGHT_GREEN);

input percentofvolume = 150;
def targetV = percentofvolume * AvgVol150;
def v = volume;

def NT = v <= AvgVol100;
def Watch = v > AvgVol100;
def Ton = v >= targetV;

AddLabel(NT, " No Trade ", Color.RED);
AddLabel(Watch, " Watch ", Color.Yellow);
AddLabel(Ton, " institutional buying ", Color.Green);

#end code

Here is a script without syntax errors. Check and see if it furthers your quest:
Ruby:
#start code

def AvgVol50 = AbsValue(Ceil(Average(volume(period = “DAY”), 50)));
AddLabel(yes, ” AvgVol 50D=” + AvgVol50, Color.LIGHT_GREEN);

input percentofvolume = 150;
def targetV = percentofvolume * AvgVol50;
def v = volume;

def NT = v <= AvgVol50;
def Watch = v > AvgVol50;
def Ton = v >= targetV;

AddLabel(NT, " No Trade ", Color.RED);
AddLabel(Watch, " Watch ", Color.Yellow);
AddLabel(Ton, " institutional buying ", Color.Green);

#end code

Thank you for the code above, I was able to modify the code in the same manner, however, it does not work as expected. it does not display the Target volume when volume reaches desired target. great idea, thank you
