Reference SPY condition as a different Ticker condition

[EP_Trader]

I am trying to put totether a an arrow up to buy which works fine with all my other condition, however what I would like to add is when spy 1 min 8EMA > 21 Spy 1 min EMA then that condition is satisifed which I have defined as 'spybullish'. Every time I try to add the condition I don't get an error but just no signal ever once I add that conditoin, when clearly the SPY 8EMA SPY 21 EMA. Any help I can get here with this? THis below is what I have. Would greatly appreciate.

Input ticker = “SPY”;
input spylength1 = 8;
input spylength2 = 21;
input aggr = AggregationPeriod.min;
def c = close(ticker,period = aggr);

def SPYFast = ExpAverage(c, spylength1);

def SPYSlow = ExpAverage(c, spylength2);

Def spybearish = SPYFast < SPYslow;

Def spybullish = SPYFast >SPYslow;

#then a bunch of other code that works

plot crossUP = if spybullish and ATRTrailready and SlowStochReady and macdready then plotLow else double.NaN ;

is your chart set to 1 minute?
can't specify a 2nd agg time smaller than the chart time.

there is no need to specify 1 minute 2nd aggregation. 1 minute is the smallest time interval.

add this to the end of your code to verify spy formulas.
if bullish, then green bubble above candle.
if bearish, then red bubble below candle.

def na = double.nan;
input test_bubble1 = yes;

addchartbubble(
 test_bubble1 and (spybullish or spybearish),
(if spybullish then high*1.002 else if spybearish then low*0.998 else close),
(if spybullish then "bull" else if spybearish then "bear" else "-"),
(if spybullish then color.green else if spybearish then color.red else color.gray), 
(if spybullish then "yes" else if spybearish then "no" else "no")
 );
