    I was testing a piece of code to draw segments in the future with this code (Dax, Daily TF) using DateToBarIndex:

    GG      = 6
    MyDay   = OpenDay
    MyMonth = OpenMonth
    MyYear  = OpenYear
    DayMax  = 31
    TestX    = 1
    MyGG    = GG
    WHILE Test = 1
       IF MyMonth = 4 OR MyMonth = 6 OR MyMonth = 9 OR Month = 11 THEN
          DayMax = 30
       ELSIF MyMonth = 2 THEN
          DayMax = 28
          IF Year MOD 4 = 0 THEN
             IF Year MOD 100 = 0 THEN
                IF Year MOD 400 = 0 THEN
                   DayMax = 29
                ENDIF
             ELSE
                DayMax = 29
             ENDIF
          ENDIF
       ENDIF
       MyDay = MyDay + MyGG
       IF MyDay <= DayMax THEN
          Test = 0
       ELSE
          MyDay   = MyDay - DayMax
          MyMonth = MyMonth + 1
          IF MyMonth = 13 THEN
             MyMonth = 1
             MyYear  = MyYear + 1
          ENDIF
          DayMax = 31
          MyGG   = 0
       ENDIF
    WEND
    MyDate = (MyYear * 10000) + (MyMonth * 100) + MyDay
    DRAWSEGMENT(barindex,high,DateToBarIndex(MyDate),high)
    RETURN

    at line it only accepts, as an offset into the future, from 2 to 31 days, otherwise an error is reported as from attached pics (Draw1 is correct, with 31, while Draw2 returned an error as soon as I incremented the variable to 32).

    Is this a limit or a bug?

    Making it a strategy and GRAPHing all variables, the future dates calculated are GRAPHed correctly, so there should be no error in the calculation code.
