it works better with this correction

date > start.date -1

Input:	
start.date(	1090601),
start.time(	0800	), 
color(		black	), 
text.size(	8	);
 
var:	
bar_num(	0), 
id_txt(	0);
 
if Time > start.time and date > start.date -1 then 
begin
	if bar_num = 0 then 
	   bar_num = 1 ;
end
else 
bar_num = 0 ;

if bar_num > 0 then 
begin
	id_txt = text_new_self( d, time, 0, text(bar_num : 0 : 0 ) );
		  text_setcolor( id_txt , color     );
		  text_setsize(  id_txt , text.size );
	bar_num = bar_num + 1 ;
end;
  
print(bar_num ) ;

It counts all the bars if, and only if, the start.time = start of the day session (08h00)

But...

It doesnt count all the bars if the start.time = an other time

How to resolve that??

yes, of course, this is for a strategy.

it starts counting the bars when an order is filled. (i.e. marketposition <> 0)

what you get is the number of bars you have been in a trade.
