Revovering from Data Feed Disconnect

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

The amount of historical bars your strategy runs on is determined by whats on your chart. Whatever data is present on your chart is what is used to calculate the strategy position.

Josh,

Seems like other people are having similar issues with this. So, as a feature request... please please please ask that the development team put in a "OnConnectionState()" function that we can override in our strategy.

That way, we can programmatically detect events like connection lost, connection regained, etc. That should be like... what, 20 lines of code, 10 minutes of testing? If they want to give your (paying) customers a great Christmas present, they'll get that to us as a patch instead of waiting for NT7.

heech you already have an OnConnectionStatus() method available to you where you can detect things like disconnects.

Yes, but I wanted a function called OnConnectionState...

Just kidding. That's great, thanks.
