Hi All,

I am trying to create a custom watchlist column with below conditions

1) Close is > 5 Minute ORB High + Close is above 21 EMA + 100 EMA > 200 EMA + SPY 100 EMA > SPY 200 EMA == If all conditions are met then display "Calls"
2) Close is < 5 Minute ORB Low + Close is under 21 EMA + 100 EMA < 200 EMA + SPY 100 EMA < SPY 200 EMA == If all conditions are met then display "Puts"

Below is the script. All the conditions work except SPY 100 EMA > SPY 200 EMA and SPY 100 EMA < SPY 200 EMA. Could you please help me understand what I am missing here. Thanks in advance and let me know if you have any questions.

a watchlist study wants only 1 output function. your study has 2, plot and addlabel. that may be part of the problem.
i changed the plot to a def, and disabled the plot parameter.
changed this,
plot status = if close > OpenRangeHigh then 1 else if close < OpenRangeLow then 0 else -1;


after altering this, i put this code on a chart and added bubbles. (at the end of the study).
the bubbles displayed values for spyema100 and 200.


i copied the code and put it in a watchlist. i set the time to 5 minutes. it seems to work.

for testing, i disabled your addlabel and added this one, to show just the variables in question.
it disaplys values for the spyema100 and spyema200... so i think it works
addlabel(1, SPYEMABearStack + " " + SPYEMA100 + " " + SPYEMA200 , color.cyan);
change it to 1 and the main addlabel to 0 to test it.


your addlabel has a very long formula for the color, but all choices are black?
i disabled that part and added
, color.cyan);

the color used in addlabel, in a column, is the font color. black is hard to read on dark colors. so i changed it cyan.
