Strategy is disabling on disconnecting of CQG data server

[RtelTrade]

Hello, I have a strategy that needs to run for a month continuously. It disables on Friday evening because CQG data server is disconnected due to their maintenance shutdown

How do I keep my strategy enabled and continue working when data server connected comes back.

Following is from the message logs where my strategy running on all 4 indexes are being disabled.

Can I use any other data provider (instead of CQG) that may not create this issue ?

Thanks

Hello RtelTrade,

Thanks for your post.

Every broker will have maintenance time. This is regularly done on weekends and requires us to reconnect and re-enable strategies at least every week.

You may be able to reconnect programmatically using Connect() that is triggered from an AddOn that checks the PC clock time (DateTime.Now), but there would not be any supported way to programmatically enable a strategy.

Something unsupported you could consider would be to adapt your strategy logic in an indicator and use AddOn Framework code to submit orders using Account.CreateOrder and Account.Submit. Keep in mind, this would drop the safe guards built into NinjaScript strategies, for example, when an order is rejected, the strategy will automatically disable and attempt to close positions and cancel orders.

Using an indicator and AddOn Framework code to drive the order submissions would also be different because there is no internal strategy position that would get calculated from historical processing.

Account class - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm

From a supported perspective, the path forward is to re-enable the strategy at least weekly, and use the ImmediatelySubmit Start Behavior to have the strategy resume from the position and orders it calculates as being active from historical processing.

We look forward to assisting.
