BarCount is DYNAMIC, it may change with every execution.
You should not think about it as a constant.
It can change with zoom factor, tooltip display (uses less),
interpretation, selected bar, etc, etc.

Also first execution after applying indicator always uses
all bars, only subsequent runs use less.
