BarCount does not necessarily == LastValue(BarIndex())

This is because Amibroker uses "quickAFL" which means it only uses enough
bars to "get the job done". This frequently is not all the bars.

Hi Terry,

thank you very much for your explanation !
However it looks a little bit strange. It works still the same.
When set the entire array to 0 with Cnt = 0; and click Apply, it shows
the same value as with the confirmation code in the graph. However 
automatically after about 1 second it changes the value to 199 instead
4517

BTW: i know that it displays the number in the title based on my cursor. 

Regards

Klaus
