 Hello Alex _ I believe what you want to take 
advantage of is the function BarinRange as used below. 
 It will get the status of the FROM to RANGE that you set in the AutoAnalyzer window, 
rather than 
BarVisible (Ah Dimitris where are 
you?)   If you Explore this you'll see that BIR is 
 
an array of 1 and 0's representing the range you 
want to consider. 
  
Now if you're using it as an indicator you'll want BarVisible and I've also included a 
piece of code 
that uses that approach as templates for 
you and others to glean code snippets. 
Both attributed to the forum and right now 
unknown authors.   
  
Hope this helps - can't have too many good examples

  Subject: [amibroker] Re: Setting the 
  start date for "Relative Performance" indicator 
  
  Thanks Stephane,
  I might try that next.  In the 
  meantime, I've fiddled around with  some of the other suggestions and come 
  up with a slight variation  which seems to work well - code 
  below.
  This is the best solution so far, but it would still be nice 
   (Tomasz...) if we were able to choose the date for the first visible 
   bar on the left side of the chart...
  Thanks 
  all, Alex.

  Performance");

  "^AXJO,^AXDJ,^AXEJ,^AXFJ,^AXHJ,^AXIJ,^AXMJ,^AXNJ,^AXPJ,^A XSJ,^AXTJ,^AXUJ,^AXXJ");
 
  fvb 
  = SelectedValue(C);
  Plot((100 * ( C - fvb ) / fvb), Name(), colorBlack, 
  styleThick=4 );
  for( i = 0; ( symbol = StrExtract( TickerList, i ) ) 
  !=""; i++ ) { fc = Foreign( symbol, "C" );
  fcb = 
  SelectedValue(Foreign( symbol, "C" ));
  if( ! IsNull( fc[ 0 ] ) 
  ) { Plot( 100 * ( fc - fcb )/ fcb, symbol, colorBrown + ( (2*i) % 15 ), 
   styleLine); } }
  Plot(0,"0",colorGrey50,1|styleNoLabel|styleNoTitle);
  _N(Title 
  = "{{NAME}} - ASD - Relative Performance [%]: 
  {{VALUES}}"); _SECTION_END();
