BarsSinceSession

Does Bars.BarsSinceSession work in indicators?

I created a new indicator with the wizard, add one variable and this line of code, nothing else, and it won't compile:

numberBars = Bars.BarsSinceSession;

Hello coolmoss,

Hi Joydeep,

Can you suggest any reason why the indicator won't compile?

This is totality of code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
numberBars = Bars.BarsSinceSession;
Bars.Set(4);
}

One other thing of interest: I start typing "Bars", then hit the "." and the editor pops up with the properties list for the method. On this pop up, BarsSinceSession does not appear.

Hello coolmoss,
Have you named a custom plot/data series as Bars. If so then please change it and see if you can compile it or not.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thanks! That was it. I inadvertently named the data series "bars". I have no idea what I was thinking.
