I always thought that Barcount would give me the number of bars, as
in "LastValue", available for the current active array, according to
the manual:
" . . . BarCount is a numeric variable that holds just one number
(the count of elements in array). . ."
as well as:
" . . . if you choose range: "all quotes" in AA
SelectedValue function is equivalent to array[ BarCount - 1 ] . . ."
Why is it then that if I use the following code:
MaxBar=BarCount-1;
ChBar=LastValue(Min(MaxBar,SelectedValue(BarIndex())));
printf("\nChBar: " + NumToStr(ChBar,1.0));
printf("\nMaxBar: " + NumToStr(MaxBar,1.0));
I get the same number for ChBar and Maxbar as output in my
Interpretation for a randomly selected bar in the chart:
ChBar: 640
MaxBar: 640
If I select another bar, the numbers are again the same:
ChBar: 881
MaxBar: 881
Should MaxBar not reflect a fixed number, namely (LastValue(BarIndex
())- "Blank Bars"?
Or do I need to re-interpreted Barcount as:
Barcount = SelectedValue(BarIndex())+1; ????
I use AB 5.08
Thx,
PS (Deja-vu-ing, feeling like a beginner again)
