OnConnectionStatus Behavior

[reynoldsn]

I am connected to the CQG data feed and I have the following event handler in my strategy. As soon as I enable the strategy, the DrawTextFixed method is called and displays "Order Server Connection lost", however, I don't believe there is a problem with the Order Server. How do I correctly check order server connection status?

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
    dStatus = priceStatus;
    oStatus = orderStatus;

    //---------------
    // Order Server
    if (oStatus != null)
    {
        if (oStatus != ConnectionStatus.Connected)
        {
				DrawTextFixed("Last", "Order Server Connection lost" , TextPosition.BottomLeft, Color.Green, new Font("Arial",16), Color.Blue, Color.DarkGray, 5);
        }

        //No further processing
        return;
    }

}

Hello reynoldsn,

Thank you for your post.

Try printing the ConnectionStatus to see what it is reporting as.

For information on Print() please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/print.htm

The information will show in the Output window under Tools > Output.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

OK, this is probably more useful:

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
    dStatus = priceStatus;
    oStatus = orderStatus;

    //---------------
    // Order Server
    if (oStatus != null)
    {
		switch (oStatus) 
		{
			case ConnectionStatus.Connected:
				Print("OrderStatus: Connected");
				break;
			case ConnectionStatus.Connecting:
				Print("OrderStatus: Connecting");
				break;
			case ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost:
				Print("OrderStatus: Connection lost");
				break;
			case ConnectionStatus.Disconnected:
				Print("OrderStatus: Disconnected");
				break;
			default:
				Print("OrderStatus: unknown");
				break;
		}
        return;
    }
