BarsCount: Shows historical ForexScannerST buy and sell arrows on
your charts, up to 8000 bars and exactly where they would have
occurred in real time, so it will be easy for you to review them.
The more bars it counts, the slower the charts will load. If you have a
slow internet connection or you need to load a lot of charts, set this
value to 1500. Choice here is up to the trader.
You can set back this value to 8000 if you really want to review the
signals in detail.
Finally Press “OK” to save your preferences.
