1) What is the difference between Calculate and Recalculate? And when should I override each? I tried override both and it appears that
overridding Recalculate breaks something. If I have Calculate, it's called and shows my Log.Writes. If I add Recalculate it doesn't log anything.

public override void Recalculate(RecalculateArg arg)
{
//Log.Write( "{0} {1}", arg.Start, arg.End);
Log.Write( "Recalc" );
}

2) Is there a field that holds the Session's begin and end time?

Thanks, Jerry

It is better to override Calculate() method. This method is calling bar-by-bar even a bunch of bars were updated.

Recalculate() method can be used for algorithms that should see a range of updated bars and use some optimized techniques for calculations.

You can see differences in our sample indicators that come with Chart package.
