Requesting help with alert on custom indicator

tabla

This custom indicator gives intraday bullish and bearish signals.

But there are two issues
1. if Alerts are set up by doing a 'create alert' by right clicking on the indicator) the mobile push alerts don't fire correctly. They seem to be triggering off seemingly randomly and don't align with the visual onscreen up/down arrows the visuals work fine on the chart (i.e. up/down arrows). Interestingly - the on-screen alerts work fine (by using createalert thinkscript statements work fine too)

2. the indicator and arrows doesn't display on a mobile device (when debugging, it seems to fail to render on the lindev statement)

Would really appreciate your feedback and a fix to the above two issues! I am pasting the custom indicator thinkscript below
Use on a 2 min chart for SPY -->

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Code:
input avg1Length = 10;
input avg1Type = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input avg1PriceType = FundamentalType.CLOSE;
input avg1TimeframeType = {default Chart, Custom};
input avg1CustomTimeframe = AggregationPeriod.THREE_MIN;
def avg1tf = if avg1TimeframeType == avg1TimeframeType.Chart then GetAggregationPeriod() else avg1CustomTimeframe;
input avg1Displace = 0;
input avg2Length = 30;
input avg2Type = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input avg2PriceType = FundamentalType.CLOSE;
input avg2TimeframeType = {default Chart, Custom};
input avg2CustomTimeframe = AggregationPeriod.FOUR_MIN;
def avg2tf = if avg1TimeframeType == avg1TimeframeType.Chart then GetAggregationPeriod() else avg2CustomTimeframe;
input avg2Displace = 0;

plot MA1 = MovingAverage(averagetype = avg1Type, data = Fundamental(period = avg1tf, fundamentalType = avg1PriceType)[-avg1Displace], length = avg1Length);
plot MA2 = MovingAverage(averagetype = avg2Type, data = Fundamental(period = avg2tf, fundamentalType = avg2PriceType)[-avg2Displace], length = avg2Length);

MA1.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(6));
