Connection loss event in strategy

[RedDuke]

Hello,
I use 2 connections Kinetick for data and IB for trading. Is there any way to know when they stop working, like an event. I need to be able to differentiate which one stopped working.

Thanks,

OnConnectionStatus()

RedDuke, working with OnConnectionStatus would be the approach to use, however it would always report for the connection only where the traded to account would reside.

Hi Bertrand,

Does it mean if IB connection is lost OnConnectionStatus will be trigerred, but when Kinetick connection is lost, nothing will happen?

You are correct in understanding, it's for the traded account connection.

redduke, I should add in here that our next major platform update will offer more programmatic differentiation between connection events.
