A question on stocks scanning

Hi, I imported 201 US stocks tickers in to the Associated Watch List. Then in Alert Condition I entered the following: =AV > BV . So the aim was to scan my list for those ask volume higher than the bid volume. By the way, the charts are intraday daily charts. After running the scan, there are a few things very confusing:

1. when I am checking the results, I found that NIO and PENN are in the Alert Manager. However, bid volume is actually higher than ask volume for both of them. So the scanning result includes the stocks which are totally opposite to the scan criteria.

2. I have run both = AV > BV and = AV < BV for my 201 stock tickers. It turns out I got 39 results for AV > BV and 40 results for AV < BV making a total of 79. So does it mean out of my 201 tickers, 122 tickers have got AV and BV exactly the same?

Am I missing something here in screening? I just does not look right.
