Print() - duplicates

[mntemel]

Hi,

I'm trying to print some values for my strategy.

Data Series type: Volume.

I have added this piece below in my strategy;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Print(Time[1].ToString()+" The high of the bar is : " + High[1]);
}

But this is the output I'm getting, so many duplicates; any idea why?

02/03/2018 21:58:45 The high of the bar is : 1.23325
02/03/2018 21:58:45 The high of the bar is : 1.23325

OnBarUpdate is called for every tick.

You can change that:

Hi mntemel,

sledge is likely correct.

What is the Calculate setting set to in the instance parameters of the running script?
(Not just in the code)

If you would like to have Calculate set to On each tick, or On price change and receive only one print per bar, you can require that IsFirstTickOfBar be true.
