How do I get Bullcharts to return the total number of bars I have in my database? For XJO for example. I've tried using barssince (c>0), thinking the 1st bar must close >0, so that should tell me how many bars have occurred since the 1st day. But that doesn't work. |

Owen Your code will start counting again from every bar, so will always return the value of 1, because it's always been 1 day since the last time C > 0. This will work: firstBar := if(barnumber=1, 1, 0); barsSince (firstBar=1);CR |

Thank you CR!  I didn't realise there is a "barnumber" function. This will make lot of things so much easier! |
