Monitoring Kinetick Connection

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys is there anyway to test my connection to Kinetick while the strategy is running to make sure its green at all times and then assign a variable conGreen = true or something like that?

Hello,

You can use the OnConnectionStatus to monitor your connection.

Since you're using Kinetick, you'd only have to monitor the priceStatus.

Thanks I see that it's checked in OnOrderUpdate method, but could the data connection also be checked inside the OnBarUpdate method?

if (dataFeed != ConnectionStatus.Connected)
{
// Do something
}

Secondly, if Kinetick disconnects while the strategy is active, will it reconnect on its own?

Yes, you can make this check anywhere you wish - the help guide only gives us on example.
