Quality Assurance has reviewed and have not been able to reproduce. I went back and tested on clean installations of the current build and our internal builds, and I was not able to reproduce longer delays from disconnections.
Some thing we could try in an effort to narrow down where longer backtesting times are coming with the Strategy Analyzer using SampleMACrossover would be to set up a clean environment so you can also perform the same "clean" test as I have. I expect that you would not see delays when connected or disconnected here as I am not seeing them in the clean environment.
If you flip back to the existing environment, and can then reproduce delays when disconnected, This would point to something on your platform that is contributing that we could narrow down. If that is the case, please reach out to me over email at scriptingsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com with the text "Attn Jim 2162858" in the subject line. I will then want to ask for files or get connected to see if I can get my platform to reproduce the same. This can hopefully eliminate some of the randomness and get us something that is testable that we can look into.
Clean Environment Test:
Creating a clean environment can be done by following the steps below:
- Close NinjaTrader 8, and rename the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents to something like: "NinjaTrader 8 OLD" Do not delete this folder.
- Uninstall NinjaTrader from the Windows Control Panel
- Delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8 folder
- Reinstall using the installer from http://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect
- Backtest SampleMACrossover from the first of the year with tick data, and then test again while disconnected and again after reconnecting
For example, Close NinjaTrader and rename the new "NinjaTrader 8" folder to "NinjaTrader 8 NEW" and the "NinjaTrader 8 OLD" folder to "NinjaTrader 8." Then restart the platform. Simply put: NinjaTrader 8 will always load the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents.
We look forward to assisting.
