custom watchList

This is a script I created to scan for a 30-minute timeframe. However, when this script is modified to display in a watchlist, it doesn't work. The reason might be that the watchlist defaults to a 1-day timeframe. Does anyone know how to set up a shorter timeframe in a watchlist? Please advise.

In watchList i only view the Avg
def Avg = Round((todaysFirst30MVolume / AvgFirst30MVolume) * 100, 0);
by AddLabel. But it doesn't work

Code:
# 5-day Average First 30-Minute Volume
declare upper;

########## Scripts
script BarsPerPeriod {
    input barCount = 13; #hint barCount: the number of 30 minute candles in a full trading day
    input length = 1; #hint length: the number of premarket candles to count
    plot cumulativeVolume = (fold i = 0 to length with o = 0 do o + GetValue(volume, (barCount - i), 0));
}

script First30MVolume {
    # code for today's first 30-minute volume
    def st = 0930; # today's premarket start time
    def et = 0959; # today's premarket end time
    def Active = SecondsFromTime(st) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(et) >= 0;
    def tPV = if Active and !Active[1] then volume
              else if Active then (tPV[1] + volume)
              else tPV[1];
    plot TodaysFirst30MVolume = tPV;
      
    # code for prior days' first 30-minute volume
    input barCount = 13; #hint barCount: the number of 30 minute candles in a full trading day
    def pst = 0930; # prior days' premarket start time
    def pet = 0959; # prior days' premarket end time
    def pActive = SecondsFromTime(pst) >= 0 and SecondsTillTime(pet) >= 0;
    def pPV = if pActive and !pActive[1] then BarsPerPeriod(barCount).cumulativeVolume
              else if pActive Then pPV[1] + BarsPerPeriod(barCount).cumulativeVolume
              else pPV[1];
    plot First30MVolume = pPV;
