Connection Loss Handling

[blar58]

Hello

I want to handle the orders management through the Unmanaged version and I would like to know what should I use as ConnectionLossHandling property.

Keep running, ReCalculate or Stop Strategy.

Could you tell me the difference and the impact of each properties.


Thanks

blar58,

I am happy to assist.

KeepRunning: Keeps the strategy running and sends a disconnect email alert. When the connection is reestablished the strategy will resume as if no disconnect occurred.

Recalculate: Strategies will attempt to recalculate its strategy position when a connection is reestablished and held for longer than RestartDelaySeconds (default = 10). Recalculations will only occur if the strategy was stopped based on the conditions below. Should the connection be reestablished before the strategy was stopped, the strategy will continue running without recalculating as if no disconnect occurred.
• If data feed disconnects for longer than the time specified in DisconnectDelaySeconds, the strategy is stopped and a disconnect email alert will be sent.
• If the order feed disconnects and the strategy places an order action while disconnected, the strategy is stopped and a disconnect email alert will be sent.
• If both the data and order feeds disconnect for longer than the time specified in DisconnectDelaySeconds, the strategy is stopped and a disconnect email alert will be sent.

StopStrategy: Automatically stops the strategy when disconnected for more than DisconnectDelaySeconds and sends a disconnect email alert. No action will be taken when a connection is reestablished.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

I am just wondering which one to take

blar,

Its difficult to recommend unless one knows more about your strategy. Its also heavily based on personal preference. Would you rather the strategy stop and wait to be reset after a disconnection? To wait X number of seconds before doing so? Do you want it to act as if no disconnection occurred or use the recalculate option?

I would probably use the recalculate option, but this doesn't mean that its best for you as its a subjective choice. This is not advice nor should be taken as such, I am just telling you my preference.
