Hello,

By default there is a trade size LIMIT on % of volume of entry bar
(see Automatic Analysis SETTINGS, "Portfolio" tab) - the fact that volume is expressed in hundreds of shares makes
100x difference when it comes to this particular limit. So you would need to use *different* settings with data expressed in 
hundreds of shares.
