Hello, I am sorry, one correction is needed to previously posted picture. Note that BarIndex represents actual QUOTES. So first quote will ALWAYS have index of ZERO. Now the AFL array can be MOVING over available quotes if you are shifting visible area using scroll bar. As you can see in this example, the barindex() function in current execution will give you numbers starting from 11 upto 23 because current visible area covers only part of available quotes.
