Hello,
BarCount is number of elements in AFL array.
Its length is DYNAMIC (may change from execution to execution)
depending on chart zoom level - if you zoom in the BarCount will decrease.
BarIndex() is represents FIXED quote (bar) index. It does not change
when you zoom in/zoom out. It may only change when you add new quotations
to the database or when you change the interval (for example daily to intraday).
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
