OnConnectionStatusUpdate

[uday12]

Two questions regarding OnConnectionStatusUpdate:

1. In backtest (historic state), is there a way to simulate / reproduce a connection loss and re-connect ?

2. Within the OnConnectionStatusUpdate, suppose I use ReloadAllHistoricalData() as follows:

protected override void OnConnectionStatusUpdate(ConnectionStatusEventArgs connectionStatusUpdate)
{
if (connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
{
IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded = true;
}
else if (IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded && connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected)
{
ReloadAllHistoricalData();
IsReloadAllHistoricalDataNeeded = false;
}
}

Would NT also buy / sell positions to bring the strategy's positions to be in line with the expected strategy positions as if there was no connection loss?

Hello uday12,

Thanks for your post.

I am not aware of a way to simulate connection loss in a backtest. Perhaps others in the community might and they are of course welcome to contribute.

Reloading all historical data will also cause your strategy to be reloaded so it would react according to how you have configured syncing options to your account, reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._positions.htm
