Hello Radicaltrader,

Thank you for writing in.

Yes, to keep your active strategies running during a disconnect/reconnect, you would want to read about on connection loss and handling at the following link,

Please let us know if you have any questions.

What I tried to say was if I was to manually disconnect the fxcm connection and reconnected to fxcm, can I keep my strategies running.

Hello radicaltrader,

It is not possible for your strategies to automatically start after manually disconnecting and reconnecting.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello Alan.

My strategies need to run for over a week. Do you have any suggestions of what i can do?

Hello Radicaltrader,

There is no supported or suggested method for auto starting your strategies after a manual disconnect and reconnect. You should manually restart your strategies or avoid disconnecting.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Manually restarting strategies loses my targets.

NT will lose connection to FXCM every weekend. It would be great if this didn't happen. Price data reconnects after FXCM maintenance finishes, but Trade connection fails to reconnect.

Hello Radicaltrader,

I will submit a feature request to development to have an auto start option for your strategies to navigate this situation.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello RadicalTrader,

The feature request ID for this request is being tracked under SFT-2031.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

That would be of great benefit to my trading with FXCM. Trading confidence will be so much higher.

The feature request ID is being used twice SFT-2031.

Hello Radicaltrader,

Thank you for bringing my attention to that, I was a digit off in that other post, which I just corrected. SFT-2031 pertains to this request, "Implement auto-restart for strategies upon connection".

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I assume this didn't not make the list of features - SFT-2031

Hello radicaltrader,

This SFT is still being considered.

Thank you for your inquiry.
