Thanks to Dennis and Bill Brower for replying.
(Ok, this is a bit of a complex topic.)
The short answer is that
(1)any system logging function will generate one additional call
(hence one more print statement) when the chart is redrawn with the
best results.
(2) Another line is generated when the optimizer sorts the results and
selects the best result.
(3) Another, 3rd call is made to the strategy, hence to the the print
function when the strategy is INSERTED into the window.
There is more to the issue than the summary,
but just be careful when collecting performance
statistics using custom calculations.
