600 bars max loaded?

[cashonly]

I've got an .efs formula that I'm trying to use on a chart with 1026 days on it.

I have this line in the formula:
debugPrintln( "For " + getSymbol() + ": 2YrLow is: " + lowest(512, low()) + ", 2YrHigh is: " + highest(512, high()) + " over " + getCurrentBarCount() + " days ");

It prints the following in the debug window:
For JPMRY120: 2YrLow is: null, 2YrHigh is: null over 600 days

How come the ELS code thinks I have only 600 days loaded when the chart is 1026 days?

FWIW the line of code you posted is returning the correct number of bars at my end [see enclosed screenshot]

Hi Alexis,

I tried the same thing and it worked for me too. Now I'm suspecting that it's due to the fact that I'm using custom symbols.

Thanks for the insight.

If the value being returned is 600 then that is very likely the number of bars loaded for that symbol irrespective of what the Time Template may be set to. You can easily verify this by enabling the Bar Count field in the Cursor Window.
That said if I remember correctly there is an issue in 10.6 when using a Time Template set to #Days on custom symbols. If [as I am assuming] you are plotting a daily chart then try setting the Time Template to #Bars instead
