myAccount.Connection.Status is not working

[MohammedAmine]

Hello NT Team,

Losing connection often provokes a lot of strategy interruption for me, this is why I've decided to verify connection before submitting orders, so I tried to use something like this :

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 256)
return;

// Set 1
// Print("Connection Status is : "+myAccount.Connection.Status);
if (myAccount.Connection.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected)
{
Print("Im connected");
} else {
Print("Not connected");
}

}

But it didn't work for me, even though it got compiled without any errors, then I tried the following :

protected override void OnAccountItemUpdate(Account account, AccountItem accountItem, double value)
{
if (myAccount.Connection.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected)
{
Print("Im connected");
} else {
Print("Not connected");
}
}

and still the same thing it is not working for me, can u plz tell me what is the correct way to get to what I need ? Thank you very much

Hello MohammedAmine,

Thanks for your post.

Please use the OnConnectStatusUpdate() method as this is an event-driven method used which is called for every change in connection status.
