Low Volatility Scan

I've tried to build this scanner according to Ai ...but seems that im doing something wrong...
it appears to be empty...
Please help! Thank you in advance!
here is the steps I did:

Step 1: Open ThinkOrSwim (Desktop App)
Launch your ToS desktop client (not mobile or web).


Step 2: Reset and Build the Scanner
Go to the Scan tab → Stock Hacker.
Click the small dropdown near “Scan query” → select Reset.
Add the Stock filters:
Last > 2
Volume > 500,000
Add the 6 Study filters (custom ThinkScript):
For each, click + Add filter → Study → Custom, open the editor, then paste:
Consolidation (Low Volatility):

def range = high - low;
def avgRange10 = Average(range, 10);
def avgRange30 = Average(range, 30);
plot consolidation = avgRange10 < avgRange30 * 0.7;
Breakout + Volume Spike:

def breakout = close > Highest(close[1], 10);
def volumeSpike = volume > Average(volume, 20) * 1.5;
plot breakoutSignal = breakout and volumeSpike;
Retracement:

def recentHigh = Highest(close, 10);
def recentLow = Lowest(close, 5);
plot retraceSignal = close < recentHigh * 0.95 and close > recentLow;
Continuation (Bullish Engulfing):

plot continuationSignal = close > open and open < close[1] and close > open[1];
RSI between 50–70:

plot RSIRange = RSI(length = 14) > 50 and RSI(length = 14) < 70;
MACD Histogram > 0:

plot macdBullish = MACD().Diff > 0;


Step 3: Save the Scan
Click the ☰ menu (top right of Stock Hacker).
Choose Save scan query...
Name it something like: SmartMoneyFull, Full Smart Flow, etc.


Step 4: Create the Share Link
With that scan loaded, click the ☰ menu again.
Select Share scan query...
ToS will generate a working tos.mx link containing all your scan logic.


Step 5: Import the Scanner (Verifying)
Once you have the new link:
Click Setup → Open Shared Item... in ThinkOrSwim.
Paste the new link.
Click Preview → Import.
Go to Load scan query → Personal → locate and run your scan.
Confirm the filters are working as expected.
