[amibroker] Re: Barcount vs Barindex()

Thx Tomasz,

Although I don't receive it, I get the picture. However, using 
LastValue should mean that WITHIN the same chart-view (i.e. visible 
area), choosing another bar via the Selector Line should not change 
the Maxbar result? 

It's shocking I don't get this after so many years. And I'm now 
wondering there is probably no way to get the number of ALL bars (the 
full history) unless you use all quotes in AA/the chart, or is there?
