The attached algorithm should be trading, but it isn't. Below is the QQQ 5m chart from March 20th and highlighted are the two areas that should have triggered a trade, yet, nothing was triggered. The code uses rolling windows and a bar consolidator- it is simple and clean, and I am not sure why these (and others) are not being picked up. Suggestions?

Hi James,
Here are some modifs. I was in the mood for some extras. Check the logs.
Basically, the date was a Sunday. You won't see many down trends followed by an up on a Sunday for QQQ. 😊
