No, NO NO! 
=========
You should NEVER EVER be doing ANY extra stuff like that because AmiBroker 
does that FOR YOU AUTOMATICALLY by means of QuickAFL.
It uses visible bars automatically.

Read THIS:
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2008/07/03/quickafl/

Read it CAREFULLY, more than once, analyse the picture showing
relationship of visible bars vs barcount and repeat until understood.
