Color Column In Condition Wizard Watchlist

Hello Again Pete,

I was wondering if it is possible to add the custom color signal feature, to a watchlist column I created with the condition wizard. I tried adding the ‘assign color’ line of code but it won’t work (maybe as i haven’t defined when the scan =1?)  I have a simple condition that signals when prove crosses vwap within the last 5 bars. up or down; I just used the word ‘crosses’ from the wizard.   Will I have to write this condition out in thinkscript to then add the color option?

After getting this idea from your Thinkorswim Custom Watch List Columns video, and watching it now, I think I may have to.    Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You Again

I do believe this was demonstrated in the video you mentioned. Which visitors to this post can view here:

In fact it was explained in the very first example given in this video. The details are covered beginning at the 15 min mark and shows how to take the code produced by the Condition Wizard and convert it to display values on the watchlist column. It is at the 20:55 mark is where the rubber hits the road. This is where I show how to convert the code to a variable assignment. (the first step that you missed in your attempt). Then at the 23:05 mark I clearly show how to use that variable assignment in the AssignBackgroundColor() statement.
