EMA multi timeframe chart label?

Ok, so what I'm trying to do may seem self evident, but I'll explain anyway.

I'm trying to add chart labels for when the EMA 8 is above the EMA 50 on the following Time Frames;
Month
Week
Day
4 Hr
1 Hr

The following code works, but it's either all green or all red. I know that's not right, but I can't figure out how to fix it.

I'd also like to add a chart indicator (arrow up) when the 4 hr is false and crosses to true.

I'm sorry if that's not explained well. Any assistance would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
Code:
def monthlytrend = if (expAverage(close, 8) * aggregationPeriod.MONTH > expaverage(close, 50) * aggregationPeriod.MONTH)then 1 else 0;
def weeklytrend = if(MovAvgExponential(close, 8) * aggregationPeriod.WEEK > expaverage (close, 50) * aggregationPeriod.WEEK)then 1 else 0;
def dailytrend = if (MovAvgExponential(close, 8) * aggregationPeriod.DAY > expaverage (close, 50) * aggregationPeriod.DAY) then 1 else 0;
def trend4 = if (MovAvgExponential(close, 8) * aggregationPeriod.FOUR_hours > expaverage (close, 50) * aggregationPeriod.FOUR_hours) then 1 else 0;
def trend1 = if (MovAvgExponential(close, 8) * aggregationPeriod.hour > expaverage (close, 50) * aggregationPeriod.HOUR) then 1 else 0;

AddLabel(yes, if monthlytrend is true then "M" else "", if monthlytrend is true then Color.dark_Green else color.DARK_RED);
AddLabel(yes, if weeklytrend is true then "W" else "", if weeklytrend is true then Color.dark_Green else Color.dark_Red);
AddLabel(yes, if dailytrend is true then "D" else "", if dailytrend is true then Color.dark_Green else Color.dark_Red);
AddLabel(yes, if trend4 is true then "4" else "", if trend4 is true then Color.dark_Green else Color.dark_Red);
AddLabel(yes, if trend1 is true then "1" else "", if trend1 is true then Color.dark_Green else Color.dark_Red);

@9:1Trading Possibly ????? Not tested at all.


def aggM = AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
def pricem = close(period = aggM);

def monthlytrend = if ExpAverage (pricem, 8) > ExpAverage(pricem, 50) then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "M", if monthlytrend is true then ( Color.DARK_GREEN) else Color.DARK_RED);
 
Thanks for the quick help. It appears to be using the last true statement and applying it to all of them.

Individually, it works, but when I combine them, it get confused.

For the sake of brevity, I eliminated the 4 hr and 1 hr and inserted the 2 hr.
Code:
def aggM = AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
def pricem = close(period = aggM);
def monthlytrend = if ExpAverage (pricem, 8) > ExpAverage(pricem, 50) then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "M", if monthlytrend is true then (Color.DARK_GREEN) else Color.DARK_RED);

def aggW = AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
def pricew = close(period = aggW);
def weeklytrend = if ExpAverage (pricew, 8) > ExpAverage(pricew, 50) then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "W", if weeklytrend is true then (Color.DARK_GREEN) else Color.DARK_RED);

def aggD = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
def priced = close(period = aggD);
def daillytrend = if ExpAverage (priced, 8) > ExpAverage(priced, 50) then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "D", if daillytrend is true then  (Color.DARK_GREEN) else Color.DARK_RED);

def agg2 = AggregationPeriod.TWO_HOURS;
def price2 = close(period = agg2);
def trend2 = if ExpAverage (price2, 8) > ExpAverage(price2, 50) then 1 else 0;
AddLabel(yes, "2", if trend2 is true then  (Color.DARK_GREEN) else Color.DARK_RED);

With this one on ROKU the aggM and aggW should be Green and aggD and agg2 should be red, but they're all red. I know I'm doing something wrong, but idk what...

@yman Something like this?
Code:
def c1 = close(period = aggregationperiod.min);
def c2 = close(period = aggregationperiod.five_min);
def c3 = close(period = aggregationperiod.fifteen_min);

def avg1 = average(c1,20);
def avg2 = average(c2,20);
def avg3 = average(c3,20);

addlabel(1, if close > avg1 then "1 min above 20 SMA" else "1 min below 20 SMA",
         if close > avg1 then color.green else color.red);
addlabel(1, if close > avg2 then "5 min above 20 SMA" else "5 min below 20 SMA",
         if close > avg2 then color.green else color.red);
addlabel(1, if close > avg3 then "15 min above 20 SMA" else "15 min below 20 SMA",
         if close > avg3 then color.green else color.red);

Hi @Pensar, thank you very much for the awesome code. However, the labels only show up on 1 min chart but not on any other time frames like 3 or 5 min or 10 min. Any suggestions?

@binhvesting You would have to change the hard-coded aggregation periods. Since only higher aggregations may be used on lower aggregation charts and not vice versa, it will only display on a 1 minute chart.
