Sorry, hit send too quickly. I see that your
position sizing appears in the code, and I meant to say ratio of the *bar's*
volume, not of the *day's* volume.
But, you get the point. There are many settings that affect whether a trade is
placed. Go through all the options of the AA window and study them carefully.
Position size shrinking is one of the 'usual suspects' in these cases. Turn it
on and see if it helps.

shrinking, would your trade represent too large a ratio of the days trading
volume, are you using commissions? All of these will impact whether a trade is
taken or not.
