How to show Time & Condition in Watchlist Columns

Good morning traders! It has been a very long time since I have posted, but I wanted to come back to the forum to see if you guys could help me with some logic. I have spent the last hour or so looking through old posts and threads looking for this logic, but I could not, so I wanted to ask if we could possibly build something together.

To preface - I would like the ability to be able to see the "AddChartBubble" logic in a watchlist column. This can be very basic. If I have an algorithm that populates a "BUY" bubble at 9:51, I would like my WL column to say "BUY, 9:51". And if another "BUY" happens to come in at a later time, that would simply replace the old "BUY, 9:51".

Is this type of thing possible, and if so, could anyone help me think through this? I dont have any "logic" for this yet, but willing to discuss further.

This uses an addlabel to place the time a high or low occurred in a watchlist https://usethinkscript.com/threads/high-of-certain-period-before-certain-time.6736/post-101902
 
Solution
Is there a way to make a watchlist show the time and price at which an ema cross up or down would occur? Kinda like “Up/429.25/11:30” and vice versa?

plot EMA = ExpAverage(close, 9);
EMA.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE); EMA.SetLineWeight(1)
plot EMA2 = ExpAverage(close, 21);
EMA2.SetDefaultColor(Color.blue); EMA2.SetLineWeight(1);

Plot crossup = ema crosses above ema2;
Plot crossdown = ema crosses below ema2;

Make sure your timeframe for the watchlist and the charts you are viewing are the same
