Realtime and Connection Status

[llanqui]

I haven't verified this yet...but it seems that State=Realtime is executed when there is no connection yet (i.e. when startup has do defined auto connect)

Is this true?

And then, besides OnConnectionStatusUpdate(), is there another way to know (i.e. ninja global bool) if there is an active connection?\

thx

Hello llanqui,

Thank you for your post.

The strategy will move to go to State.Realtime after State.Historical, however, if there is no live data connection there will be no live data to process.

I am not aware of another way or global bool that would indicate if there is a live data connection, OnConnectionStatusUpdate() is the documented way to get updates for connection status changes.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Ok, that is what it seems....when RealTime is entered I cannot expect a connection to be valid

well, it seems there is a very simple way to do this

if (Connection.Connections.Count() > 0)
