  Hi,

  I am seeking help with code to calculate the number of bars from a specific date and time. For example, on an hourly chart, I would like to calculate the number of bars since 10am on 23 May 2024.

  Thanks,

  Madokin

  Hi,

  Try this one:

   

  myNumberOfBars

  myDate=20240523 myHour=10 If Date=myDate and OpenHour=myHour then myBarIndex=BarIndex EndIf myNumberOfBars=BarIndex-myBarIndex Return myNumberOfBars

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  myDate=20240523 myHour=10   If Date=myDate and OpenHour=myHour then myBarIndex=BarIndex EndIf   myNumberOfBars=BarIndex-myBarIndex   Return myNumberOfBars

  Hi,

  or this:

   

  myDate = 20240523 myTime = 100000 condition = ((opendate = myDate) and (opentime = myTime)) bars = barssince(condition,0) return bars

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  myDate = 20240523 myTime = 100000   condition = ((opendate = myDate) and (opentime = myTime))   bars = barssince(condition,0) return bars

  Thank you druby and JS for your help.

  I had success with druby’s solution, although I had to adjust the result by adding 24 (working on an hourly chart)…so I’m wondering if it’s counting barssince the next opentime after the end of the opendate? It’s an easy adjustment for me to make, I was just interested to understand the logic.
