Automatic Shut down and shut up of Ninja Trader 7

[avalassina]

Hi.
I have just set up a new Broker trading paper account and I testing my strategies.
The connections I use is via Patsystems.

All works fine but I discovered that the Broker once every evening, make a reset of the connections and a reload of all their data.
Ninja is not able to reconnect automatically to Patsystems: every time something goes wrong or the connection fall, I get a message that invite me to Exit from NT and relaunch everything.

This is a problem because I should manually restart all the environment every morning, but it is not feasible.

Question: does it possible to create a kind of macro/batch command to start Ninja and activate the right connections sequence(I use also Yahoo and Kinetick), enable the strategies and so on ?

Thanks.

Hello avalassina,

That is correct, patsystems cannot automatically re-connect.

When restarting the connections will be made alphabetically. So name them in the order you want them to start like 1_Yahoo 2_Patsystems etc.

For starting the strategies automatically after you are connected automatically, I am not sure how this could be done.
You could quickly go to the Strategies tab, hit Ctrl+A on the key board to select all strategies, then right click and Enable.

Hi Chelsea.
Thanks for your clarifications. The problems are several:
1) To reconnect Patsystems I need to shut down NT and re-launch up it
2) Then I have to launch the connection sequence
3) then I have to enable the strategies

I was wondering if some other NT Automated trader with Ninja has already solved this situation as, I suppose, I am not the only one in the Ninja worldwide people to use Patsystems with automated Strategies.

Wow...good idea Sledge.

I am not so smart in such things but I could learn...
So I could create some kind of batch with this tool in order to stop and restart daily NT and activating all the connections + strategies.

Thanks a lot for now.
