But BarCount *IS* total number of bars in a chart. And that was original question.
BarIndex will not give you total number of "available bars in the data" because you don't know that. Why? Because in a second or two new backfilled data may arrive and it will all change, or user will change filtering or interval and the number of bars of "available data" will change. Why do you care at all about "total number of "available" bars" it is irrelevant, unless you really want to PROCESS THEM. But then... you would need to ACCESS them. But then.... you will need to SetBarsRequired( sbrAll, sbrAll ) and then... BarCount will represent total number of bars of available data.
