The statements between this compiler directive and the reserved word #End are evaluated only when the '''[[Category:Expert_Commentary|Expert Commentary''' ]] tool is used to select a bar on a chart or a cell in a grid. The reserved word #End must be used with this reserved word.

== Example ==
An indicator that calculates the 10-bar momentum of the closing price needs ten bars in order to start plotting results. If commentary is added to this indicator and the commentary uses a 50-bar average of the volume, then the MaxBarsBack setting is increased to fifty. However, the 50-bar average is only used for the commentary, so there is no need to have the indicator wait fifty bars before giving results unless Commentary is requested.
