Total number of bars on the chart

   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!
