Re: [amibroker] Re: General question about Array language vs recursive processing

Hello,

I do the following at the start of my AFLs:

Global  LastBar;
LastBar = BarCount-1;

Then I use LastBar everywhere I would use BarCount-1.  It always  
points to the Last "Visible" bar on my charts.  The selected bar has  
no effect on it.  Experiment.

Best regards,
Dennis
