Bars.Count is not absolute when TickReplay is enabled

[sbgtrading]

Hello!

I use Bars.Count to immediately determine how many total bars are loaded on a chart. This works great when TickReplay is not enabled. So on the first call of OnBarUpdate, I know immediately there's 2000 bars on the chart, for example. Then on each call of OnBarUpdate, CurrentBar increments from 1 up to 2000

However, when TickReplay is enabled, Bars.Count is NOT a total count. When TickReplay is enabled, It does not contain the total number of bars on the chart. Instead, Bars.Count starts at 1, and increases...same as CurrentBar in the prior example.


So when TickReplay is enabled, how can I find out, immediately, the total number of bars on a chart?

Hello,

I just wanted to reply back on this item.

It looks like this would be expected and there is no way to know ahead of time while using TickReplay what the Count will be. It was suggested to check if you are using TickReplay, and if so disable the logic that currently uses Count.

The reason is because tick replay runs a true simulation of ticks to build the bars. The bars are NOT known ahead of time.
