What is BarsSinceSession

[savekad]

I've noticed that BarsSinceSession returns the same int asCurrentBar so what's the actual use of it?

And what exactly is the meaning of 'Session'? is it the time of the current trading session? the time of opening a new chart? of loading the indicator?

Thanks.

Hello savekad,
Bars since session returns how many bars has elapsed since the start of the session.

Session is the session template you apply on the chart via the Data Series parameter dialog.

So it is the number of bars since the starting of the session according the to session template in use?

That means that there could be a chart loaded with bars of two sessions, and the BarsSinceSession will return the number of bars for the current one, ignoring the previous one, correct?

I've checked. According to my test the answer is yes.

Hello savekad,
Yes, if you have data for 2 sessions then the Bars.BarsSinceSession will return the bar number of the latest/current session.
