Post From: sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0 condition when running a autotrade system replay backtest

When I start a replay backtest the condition sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0 is seen many times. The study is in manual loop. I would not expect that. I intend to do a few things only once when the study is loaded and sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0 When doing a backtest this does not seem to work and this part of my code gets called way to much to be efficient.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Test DLL")

SCSFExport scsf_Test(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  
  
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    // Set the configuration and defaults
    
    sc.GraphName = "Test Study";
    
    sc.StudyDescription = "This is a test study function";
    
    sc.AutoLoop = 0;
    
    // During development set this flag to 1, so the DLL can be modified. When development is done, set it to 0 to improve performance.
    sc.FreeDLL = 1;
    
    return;
  }
  
  
    
  // Do data processing
  if (sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0) {
    sc.AddMessageToLog("UpdateStartIndex = 0", 1);
  }
  
  
  if (sc.Index == 0)
  {
    
    sc.AddMessageToLog("Index = 0", 1);
  }
  
}
