Yes I counted them by clicking in the trace window, holding down Ctrl+A, Right
Click and Copy, and paste into a text editor. 200 lines exactly (once its done
printing it takes about a minute).
The only line of code in my AFL is: _TRACE("test");
That's it. 200 times, on a chart with 5000 minute bars, EURUSD, coming from
IQFeed.
Btw, I used SetBarsRequired(0,0); and that didn't change anything in terms of
the number of times "test" was printed.
Incidentally when I changed _TRACE to printf, it was printed only once in the
interpretation window, no matter what I did (scrolling, updating minutes, etc.).
So at this point none of this is making sense.
If loading a chart is a single event that should only fire off the AFL one
time, why is TRACE printing 200 times??
