Print Statements Repeating on Every Bar

[tornadoatc]

Hello,

I am having a strange problem with either Print Statements or when using StreamWriter where Print / WriteToFile statements are being repeating many times over. Eventhough, I am using BarsInProgress to segregate logic and I am sure the Prints / WriteToFile should not be repeating.

After adding some additional Print statements that DO get executed each bar the issue goes away.

Therefore I believe that what is happening is that the bars where no Print statement should be executing seems to be printing the last message.

This is for a Multi Data Series Strategy and if I include the following which prints messages each bar all seems to go as expected:

                if (BarsInProgress == 0)
                {
                    message = string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy H:mm:ss.ffff} Bar: {1} | MTC Bar : O: {2} H: {3} L: {4} C: {5} ",
                        dt, CurrentBars[BarsInProgress], Open[0], High[0], Low[0], Close[0]);
                    //WriteToFile(message, pathToWrite);
                    Print(message);
                }
                else if (BarsInProgress == 1)
                {
                    message = string.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy H:mm:ss.ffff} Bar: {1} | STC Bar : O: {2} H: {3} L: {4} C: {5} ", dt, CurrentBars[BarsInProgress], Open[0], High[0], Low[0], Close[0]);
                    //WriteToFile(message, pathToWrite);
                    Print(message);
                }

Not Including Prints for each bar I get messages that repeat the prior print statement for Bars where no Print statements should be executed.

I am on 8.0.21.1 64-bit, testing with Strategy Analyzer, all Data Sources are Tick based, All Indicators and Strategy are Calculate.OnBarClose.

Thanks,
ATC

Hello tornadoatc,

Thank you for your post.

Would you be able to give an example of the code where you were trying not to print something on a bar where it wasn't working? My guess is the previous message is being maintained from the prior bar, but I would need to see the code that isn't executing as you expect.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello tornadoatc,

Just wanted to check in to see if you'd had a chance to provide the code you had that wasn't working.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
