OnConnectionStatusUpdate not working

[KhaosTrader]

Hi,

I put this code in my indicator, to force a reload of all historical data if i lose my connection. However, it never works, as I never get the print statements to ouput, when i disconnect and reconnect my datafeed...

Here is the code (which i found here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...atusupdate.htm)

//monitor our connection status so our NinjaScript object would know to reload historical data
//create a bool which tracks when historical data would need to be reloaded after a connection loss
private bool IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded = false;
protected override void OnConnectionStatusUpdate(ConnectionStatusEventArgs connectionStatusUpdate)
{           
  //if the connection status update detects a lost connection
  if(connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
  {
    Print("Connection Lost, setting IsReloadAllHistorical Data to true");
    // switch the reload data bool to true           
    IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded = true;
    
  
  }         
  // only if we needed to reload historical data && only after when we have reconnected
  else if (IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded && connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected )
  {
    Print("Connection is reconnected, reloading all historical data");
    //then reload data and set our bool back to false.
    ReloadAllHistoricalData();
    IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded = false;
  }
  
}

Hello KhaosTrader, and thank you for your question.

I would like to clarify, when you mention disconnecting and reconnecting your data feed, are you doing so through the control center's connections pull-down ? This will not produce a connection loss. To produce a connection loss, you will want to unplug an ethernet cable, disconnect from a wi-fi hotspot, or use a program such as the publicly available TcpView program. Ensure the last one comes from a microsoft URL with https at the beginning. This url should work for the time being :

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/tcpview.aspx

If you are creating a connection loss, as opposed to a disconnect, and your strategy is still not printing, or if we can help any other way, please let us know.
