Study.calculate() - how often is it called given specific bar period?

[Shtick Hustler]

I'm using System.out.println statements to send debugging info to the MW logs.

I notice that my prints are repeating multiple times, with the same timestamp, from calculate(). Am currently using a 200 tick chart of MYM.

Thought this might have to do with multiple charts running the same study, so I removed all but one study and restarted MW--got same result.

I had assumed calculate was called once per bar period. Is this not correct?

I tried wrapping my printlns in:

if (series.isBarComplete(index)) { ... }

But it seems to make no difference.

Should I be using onBarUpdate() or onBarClose when I only want calculations once per bar?

I think it runs every tick:

Try adding a timestamp to check this:
