Hi All,

What is the easiest way to calculate the number of days between two dates in ProBuilder?

If I have:
```
startdate=01012008
curbardate=date
```
How do I calculate the number of days between date and startdate?

Regards

You can retrieve it easily in Daily timeframe while counting the barindex difference between these 2 dates.

In other timeframes it would be tricky.

Should have been:
```
startdate=20080101
```

In other than daily time frame, I use the fonction ” DAYS ” which return the number of days from 01/01/1900.

If you use the DATE fonction it is difficult to extract the difference .

Please find an example below
```
Indicator1 = Average  [20] (close)   // SMA of close

if Close Crosses Over Indicator1 then  // Close Crosses SMA
FirstDateSignal =  Days                // First signal
endif

If Close  Crosses Under Indicator1  then   // close Crosses under
SecondDateSignal = Days                //   Second Signal
Endif

Difference =  SecondDateSignal -  FirstDateSignal   // the difference in REAL days, not traded days

Return Difference
```
