General-Purpose Functions
Description
Number of bars missing before the current bar in this symbol
Syntax
MissingBars(symbol {$CalSym})
Parameters
symbol - the calendar symbol to use for comparison (optional)
Notes
A "missing bar" is a bar that is absent in this stock while being present in most other stocks from the same exchange.
This function returns a count of missing bars preceding the current bar. (By definition the current bar must be present.)
For most symbols on most dates, MissingBars() will return 0.
A missing bar is detected when the comparison symbol has a bar for that date but the current symbol does not.
The default comparison symbol is the CalendarSym for the current strategy.
The optional argument can be used to specify a different comparison symbol if desired.
See also the AllowMissingBar strategy setting, which determines whether trades can occur on a bar for which MissingBars() returns > 0.
