Need non-repainting functionality similar to ZigZagHighLow

[Bassindora]

I continue to refine my chart window to avoid multi-collinearity for intraday trading. It is coming along pretty well.

In order to identify potential candidate stocks quickly, I developed a custom watch list column that did a running total of all the indicators in that window that were in a "BUY" state.

The challenge I had was that by the time enough of them were in the buy state, I found I was too late to catch the early run.

Throughout that process, I noticed that the AGAIG_NoArrows indicator by @crickdds showed an early trend (Long/Short) before my other indicators all aligned.

So I took that code and put it into a custom watchlist column thinking it would be a better early warning detection.

Not so fast, Bucko. The primary function inside uses ZigZagHighLow that repaints based on previous candle info. Turns out that doesn't work in a custom column for a watchlist.

Does anyone know of a similar function that does not repaint? I am not trading directly from it, but would like to use it to identify candidate stocks in a watchlist that can be quickly opened in the analysis window where I can evaluate the other indicators to make a trading decision.

Ideally, when the condition is met, the background cell in the watchlist will change colors and stay that same color until the next trigger event.

Any direction and help will be appreciated.

Here is the code from the watchlist custom column:

Here is the code from the watchlist custom column:
# AsGoodAsItGets Indicator without Arrows
#CSR Buy/Sell Arrows with Short/Long Bubbles
#Developed 4-9-22 First Edition 8-23-22 Revised
#No Arrow Edition 1/1/23

input atrreversal = 2.0;

def priceh = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, high, 5);
def pricel = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, low, 5);

def EIL = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = 5, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastL;
def EIH = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = 5, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastH;

def signalDown = !IsNan(EIH);
def sigRevBot = !IsNan(EIL);

plot pcol = 0;

AssignBackgroundColor(
if signalDown then color.red
else if sigRevBot then color.green
else color.blue);

The plotting of a 0 and the blue background are being used for debugging.
