When drawing a line in a strategy, from within the context of the secondary bar (BarsInProgress == 1), the start of the line according to the BarsAgo parameter will count back bars as they occur on the chart for the primary bars. Which is good and makes sense.
For example,
DrawLine("Testline", 7, High[0], 0, High[0], Color.Gold, DashStyle.Solid, 3);
This will draw the line starting 7 bars back as per the primary bar count. However, the BarsAgo parameter in the drawline is limited to a maximum of whatever the secondary bar count maximum is. I assume this is because I am in the context of the secondary bar. This is inconsistent behaviour. If the BarsAgo parameter starts the line according to the primary bars, then it makes sense that you can go back as many bars as are in the primary bar count, and not be dependent on a secondary maximum, which has nothing to do with how the line is being drawn.
