OnConnectionStatus not firing

[clam61]

When is this function supposed to fire ?

protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus) {
            Print(DateTime.Now + " ONCONNECTIONSTATUS " + orderStatus + " " + priceStatus);
}

i put this function into my strategy and i see no output ever

Hi, it would fire for a change in your connection status - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ionStatus.html

[clam61]

i tried that. how do i manually get it to fire i need to test out some code.

i tried disconnecting from TWS already and that didnt do anything

[clam61]

ok so i got the disconnect event by shutting down TWS. this was the only way i gott his event to fire.

i tried unplugging my ethernet cable and the event did not fire.

my main concern is if my internet connection goes out. is there a way i can detect if my system has lost its internet connection or trigger something in ninjatrader if the connection is lost?

clam61, please check this post and the snippet posted there and retry simulating the connection loss - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ad.php?t=16361

hi bertrand, you linked me to this thread

[clam61]

can you explain to me how i can simulate each connection state? connected, disconnected, etc.

it seems fairly obvious but perhaps i am doing something wrong

btw, i am using the reference example, OnConnection strategy

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

If you want to simulate connection loss please use a tool like tcpview to kill connections while you are running your strategy.

[clam61]

my concern is that when my internet connection gets disconnected (like when i unplug my ethernet cable) no event gets triggered.

is this expected behavior?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

clam61,

To simulate a connection loss you would want to use tcpview. Events will trigger as NT recognizes a connection loss. If that green connected status remains green there will be no event.

[clam61]

hi josh thanks for the advice.

i want to test under a real situation...when my strategy is live interrupts will not happen via tcp view.

anyways, the green indicator turns red, and i see no event when i unplug my cable.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

As far as connection drops go, only a utility like tcpview can emulate it precisely.

Check your Control Center logs for errors.
