Reconnect from TS to NT

Great, that is very helpful.

Calling any function automatically forces a reconnect.

Returns a value of zero if the DLL has established a connection to the NinjaTrader server (application) and if the ATI is currently enabled or, -1 if it is disconnected. Calling any function in the DLL will automatically initiate a connection to the server. The parameter showMessage indicates if a message box is displayed in case the connection can not be established. A value of 1 = show message box, any other value = don't show message box.

The following is a code snipit I use to connect TS to NT (potentially on another computer):

once begin
SetUp(iHost, iPort); // iHost & iPort are inputs to strategy

if NTConnected(1) then print("connected to ", iHost)
else print("NOT connected to ", iHost);
end;

It runs once at the begining of the startegy, and works well.

The issue I have is that it assumes that NT is already up and then TS comes up. If it is not, then I need to restart the strategy every day if I take NT down at the end of the day.

The question then is how do I force a reconnect from TS? There is no Connect() method that I am aware of that would force a reconnect. Can the above code be called again if NTConnected() returned a disconnected status? Or does calling NTConnected trigger a connection attempt?

Ideally, I would like to have my strategy reconnect if not connected.
