Network connection/disconnection

[diff24rac]

Hi,

If i have a network disconnection, nt will remain "connected"(lower left) but the market data stream will stay where it was.(Same if i close the laptop for example).
I use nt 7.0.1000.6 multibroker with kinetick and windows 7.
Is there a setting in nt or win7 to get around the problem.

Regards

JF

Sorry, meant:

If i have a network disconnection, nt will remain "connected"(lower left) but the market data stream will stay where it was after the network reconnects.

Hello JF,

Can you please try to disconnect manually via Control Center-->File-->Disconnect. If this will work, please connect again via Control Center-->File-->Connect once the network is connected.

If you cannot disconnect manually, I suggest to restart NinjaTrader. Manually connect again once the network is connected.

Jason,

That's what i have to do. Thing is, it will clear the charts and all the level2 stuff will be gone, not to mention the time lost(no historical level2).
I understand this is not the kind of issue documented hence supported.
Maybe someone knows how to check programmatically if nt is receiving a stream and if not get it running disconnect/reconnect.

JF

without disconnect/reconnect.

Jason,

Is it possible to add to the nt database(the historical of a single instrument) another dataseries?(Sort of increasing the table size)

Hello JF,

Unfortunately, it is not supported to modify the database file.

You can import historical data manually using the instructions at the link below.

Jason,

If the data stream is broken but nt still connected, with"MarketDepthEventArgs e":
will e.Error or e.NativeError report something.
Will OnBarUpdate, OnMarketData, OnMarketDepth will cease to be called?
Apart these three methods, is there another one still running and which one?

TheMasterMethod()
{
.....
if( theLastDataStreamTimeStampLooksOld() )
Initialize();
.....
}

JF, I would suggest you should check for these connection related events in the OnConnectionStatus in NT, it will report for both the price and order server connection parts a connection could have.

Thanks Jason

It says:
"OnConnectionStatus(...,...) no suitable method found to override".
OnConnectionStatus is documented for strategies. Anyway to have it working in indicators?

Unfortunately this is only available in a strategy as it would monitor the connection events where the strategy traded account is tied to.

Thanks Jason

Hello,

If i include in a strategy:
protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
Print(priceStatus.ToString());

}

I have:
Connected
Connected

Is OnConnectionStatus called just once?!

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi JF, you print only the priceStatus here but the connection status can rely on two connections internally actually (price / order connection).
