    I think you want this. It passes syntax, but I did not verify whether the results are correct.

    and [weekly Std Deviation(10, weekly sma(52)) <0.10]

    // optional, add this if you want to see the results in order
    rank by [weekly Std Deviation(10, weekly sma(52))]

    The default version of Std Deviation takes only one parameter, but the documentation shows it can take another one:

    You are right it did pass syntax but for some strange reason I got 999 results and std deviations greater than .10

    [weekly sma(52, weekly std deviation(10)) < .10 ]
