I need to get the chart bar Index to count the no. of bars in the chart. I see that sc.Index does not work. Eg: If (Buy) myIndex = sc.Index ; If (EndBuy) no_of_bars = sc.Index - myIndex ; sc.Index is auto incremented and points to current bar. Is there a way to get the Index / count the no. of bars based on a condition ? thanks

What you are doing looks correct. Just make sure that myIndex is persistent between function calls: ACSIL Programming Concepts: Global Variables Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I am not using any new functions other than calling standard study ( RSI, moving average, etc..). I see that the values for no_of_bars remain zero when used. int myIndex, no_of_bars; If (Buy) myIndex = sc.Index ; If (EndBuy) no_of_bars = sc.Index - myIndex ; What is required here ? thanks
