[amibroker] Re: Relating BarIndex with Calendar Date

Hi,

Just a quick note; BarIndex only counts *trading* days. Not calendar 
days. Whereas DaysSince1900 is calendar days. So, you may be 
comparing apples to oranges. For example; in the US markets, there 
are about 252 trading days a year. That is the count reflected in 
BarIndex.
