Hello,

If you were reading the list via e-mail (not Yahoo web) you should have it.

Anyway I have put the picture on AB server -  the picture is here:
http://www.amibroker.com/gifs/barindex.gif

And of course there is a way to get all bars:
a) AA currently ALWAYS uses all bars so BarCount represents that
b) in chart the situation is different, but you can request all bars using
SetBarsRequired function http://www.amibroker.com/f?setbarsrequired
or using OLE interface (Count property of Quotations object
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/objects.html

Best regards,
