Re: [amibroker] Re: BarsSince() question

This is so because your condition is never met.
BarSince will be null as long as condition is not met
for the very first time. 
Only once condition is met at least once, the barssince
will be non-null.
Note that under QuickAFL and high zoom in levels,
not all bars in the database are actually seen by the formula,
hence your "Monday" condition may not be met if you
only display Wed-Fri on intraday chart.
Of course you can override by SetBarsRequired.
