    Hello. Do you mean this?

    return barindex

    Or perhaps for intraday data you’d like this

    return intradaybarindex

    When you click “copy” the code goes into your clipboard on your computer, then just paste it into the indicator code editor available in the platform.

    What do you mean about a bar counter? The total amount of bars available on the chart? Or maybe a bar timer? Let’s describe it, so we’ll point you onto the right direction 🙂

    What I want to do is: I set a start time, 8:00 am for Europe, 2:30pm US open, Then set a time to stop the count. It will then count the first 8:00am bar as No 1, next candle No 2 until the stop time 8 hours later. Will not matter what timeframe I use. So a very simple bar counter. I have tried a search but nothing so far. Thanks again.

    Where do you want to see the bars count? On each bar directly? With a text anchored in a corner of the chart? Below the chart as an histogram or a curve? Let us know! 😉

    I have attached the bar counter view I get with the TradigView platform. I would like the bars to be numbered on PRT v12 exactly the same as the screenshot. Thank you for your patience

    Let’s see if this helps.

    startTime = 080000   // (HHMMSS)
endTime   = 160000

if gettimeframe < 86400 then
   if opentime >= startTime and opentime <= endTime then
      if n[1] = 0 then
         n = 1
      else
         n = n[1] + 1
      endif
      
      drawtext("#n#", barindex, low - 0.5*averagetruerange[14](close)) coloured("black")
      
   else
      n = 0
   endif
else
   n = 0
endif
return

    I had I mistake in my code. now it’s ok

    Maybe this version: 

    startTime = 080000
endTime   = 190000


IF TIME >= startTime AND TIME <= endTime THEN
    IF TIME[1] < startTime OR TIME[1] > endTime THEN
        n = 1
    ELSE
        n = n[1] + 1
    ENDIF
    DRAWTEXT("#n#", barindex, low - 0.5 * AVERAGETRUERANGE[14](close)) COLOURED(0, 0, 0, 255)
ELSE
    n = 0
ENDIF


RETURN
