yes. The command Bars will return the number of bars on the current chart.

Simply make a new indicator with MetaEditor.
place these codes below in start() function.
Inserted Code
   int    barson=Bars;
   Comment("There are = "+barson+" bars on Chart");

compile it. and attach it on your chart. it will show you how many bars on your chart.

Happy Trading & Good Luck!

Sorry about that, I wasn't clear enough the first time. I meant to ask if there was a way to tell you the amount of bars that are on the current visible area of the chart? Not the chart (including history) in total.

Is that possible by chance?

yes, that is possible also:

int WindowBarsPerChart()Function returns the amount of bars visible on the chart.
