iBars and backtesting

[[Deleted]]

Hi,

I'm planning to use iBars function in my EA but the code will be kind of long and would like to know if the iBars will work correctly in backtests before I implement.

I think it didn't work when I tried it but I'm not sure.

Thanks

   {
     Print("Bar count on the 'EURUSD' symbol with PERIOD_H1 is",iBars("EURUSD",PERIOD_H1));
     Print("Bar count on the 'EURUSD' symbol with PERIOD_H4 is",iBars("EURUSD",PERIOD_H4));
     Print("Bar count on the this chart ",iBars(Symbol(),0));
     
   }
//----
   return(0);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool NewBar()
{
   static datetime dt = 0;  
   if (Time[0] != dt)
     {
      dt = Time[0];
      return(true);
     }
   return(false);
}

Perhaps you should design a solution that does not rely on iBars() ?
