Average volume AFL help

Hi I am trying to write a simple afl on finding stocks with volume higher than their average volume for the previous 10 bars.

the code that i wrote was

Filter = Volume > MA(Volume,10);
AddColumn(Volume, "Volume", 1);

I am trying to do it on 5 minute bars on realtime intraday data. Since i am using a trial version of amibroker, i applied it to current symbol. It is set to scan every 2 minutes. Range was set for last n quotations with n=1.

However with the above formula, i was not getting any results.I did not know if it is because this condition was not satisfied at that time ( the volume of the last bar is less than the average volume of the previous 10 bars), I reversed the condition.

Filter = Volume < MA(Volume,10);

Either of these two conditions has to be fullfilled by any bar !!!

So I concluded it is something to do with the my expression MA (Volume,10).

Next I tried

Filter = volume > Ref(Volume,-1);

This did produce a result !!!

Could anyone please tell me what is wrong ?

Fixed

Hi I got it fixed by the amibroker online support staff. I had to change the settings in the automatic analysis window . Periodicity was in the option 'daily' . i had to change it to '5 minutes'. It is working now.
