Hello,
I am pretty new to programing and am having trouble getting my algorithm to run properly. I am trying to start with a custom list of stocks in a manual universe, and then have my algorithm search in that universe for stocks who's volume is double the average daily volume for the last 20 days, and purchase those stocks. The algorithm runs fine but does not make any purchases. I think there is a problem with the SelectionData function but i cannot figure out why it wont work. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my "Trading Volume Oscillator".
Is this what you are trying to achieve?

Hi Vladimir,
Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to do, and much cleaner than the method I was using. Thank you very much!
