BarsSince produces an array of values i.e. the number of bars since
whatever condition from the perspective of each individual bar. If
the
perspective you want is only from the last bar then this can
always be
gotten at via LastValue ...
CurrBars =
LastValue(BarsSince(MyCondition));

how your suggestion changes the BarsSince

with each successive 15 minute bar that occurs, the
value would
increment by one (bar) unless there's another change in the
array
being processed. Right now, using BarsSince, i can only accomplish
this by using the mouse and clicking/selecting on the right-most bar
in the indicator window.

am trying to display in an interpretation how many bars have

the close crossed a moving average, but I want to use
the reference point

its calculating the bars
since the SelectedValue (see my below
snippet). Can anyone tell me how to
get this to reference bars
since last cross relative to the last
bar?
