How to count the H1 period of a specified date?

[aadesh16]

I want to ask: How to count the H1 period of a specified date?

My approach is:
local A=core.dateToTable(core.now());--Today's date
local B=A.year+1；--Date one year ago，year value
--Count the number between B and A of H1 period，I won't write the next

Can you teach me?thank you！

Hello aadesh16,

Thank you for your post.

Please see the attached example script that demonstrates how to calculate the number of hourly bars that have occurred between two time periods.

In the example script, we add a 60-minute data series using AddDataSeries. We check if the script is processing the added data series by checking if BarsInProgress == 1. Then, we use BarsArray[1].GetBar() to get a value that represents an absolute bar index value for a specified date and save it to an int variable called barsAgo. Finally, we subtract the CurrentBar from our barsAgo variable to count the number of hourly bars that have occurred since the date that was specified.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
