// BARINDEX : Return the number of bars since the beginning of data loaded

if barindex < 2 then 
SCREENER [close] (barindex as  "Bar Count")
endif
```
I have live data for the ASX (Australian market..)

I am trying to scan for an IPO that listed today code “ART”. That means on a daily timeframe, there should be one bar of data. I have checked and there is one bar of data.

I would have thought the above code would have picked it up, but it doesnt. Why hasn’t it ?

The scan returned 4 results. (attached) I expected to see no more than 2 bars, but 1, 2,3 and 4 bars were returned.

It seems I have misunderstood barindex. Can someone help? Thanks.

Something like this should work:
```
SCREENER [barindex<2] (barindex as  "Bar Count")
```

Hi Nicolas,

No it didnt work, the result was exaclty the same as mine.

It is interesting to note that ERTH & VLUE return a barcount of 1, when the charts returned show 3 bars each. Similarly, FRB & HYGG return a barcount of 0, when the charts returned show 4 & 1 bars respectively.

I take it when barindex = 0, there should be just one bar of data.
