first bar of chart

<span
lang=EN-AU >I am wanting to set up a
long term MA. In some cases there would not be enough history data to create
this MA. I then will set it to the number of bars possible.

<span
lang=EN-AU >My query, and I know this
has been asked before, and cannot remember. How can I write in an AFL to find
the first bar for the stock and then define this to use in an MA.

<span
lang=EN-AU >I will use the lesser of
500 bars or total bars in chart.
