Cbi.Connection

[Shansen]

NT Team,

The below snippet identifies where the Connection is to Market Replay.

if (Cbi.Connection.PlaybackConnection != null)
 { do something }

Is there a similar snippet which identifies where the Connection is Live or to Market Replay? Or more simply, where there is any Connection?

(I am unsure of the behaviour of "Cbi.Connection.ClientConnection")

Hello Shansen.

Thank you for the post.

You can use OnConnectionStatusUpdate to get all information about your current connection:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?connectionstatuseventargs.htm

private void OnConnectionStatusUpdate(ConnectionStatusEventArgs e)
    	{
	        /* For multi-threading reasons, work with a copy of the ConnectionStatusEventArgs to prevent situations
	         where the ConnectionStatusEventArgs may already be ahead of us while in the middle processing it. */
	        ConnectionStatusEventArgs eCopy = e;
			
			Print(eCopy.Connection.Options.Name);

}

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

For completeness, what is Cbi.Connection.ClientConnection?
