Bar Count / Bars Ago

Description:

This code will draw the CurrentBar number above each individual bar, and the BarsAgo number bellow each individual bar.

Use Case:

When NinjaTrader tells you there is an error on bar X you can use this to determine exactly where the error occured.
When you want to know exactly how many bars ago you want to draw something, or execute something, this can be used to check the bars.

}

private void BarsAgo()
{
    // The zeroith bar is the last completed bar when calculating on bar OnBarClose
    // The zeroith bar is the current developing bar otherwise
	if (Calculate == Calculate.OnBarClose)
		Draw.Text(this, "Bars Ago " + CurrentBar, (Count - CurrentBar - 2).ToString(), 0, Low[0] - 1 * TickSize, BABrush);

		Draw.Text(this, "Bars Ago " + CurrentBar, (Count - CurrentBar - 1).ToString(), 0, Low[0] - 1 * TickSize, BABrush);
