Every morning at around 5am London time (and a different time on fridays)
there shut/restart their servers as part of their daily maintance.
This disables all my "enabled" strategies.
After finally understanding the root cause, i then configured to "On connecion Loss" settings to remedy this situation, with the following settings:
On connection loss: Keep Running
Disconnect delay seconds 10
Number of restarts attempts: 60
Restart within X minutes: 60.
I restarted NT and TWS, and to my great satisfaction, i woke uo the next morning and found all my strategies ENABLED. This settings above worked well (The logs shows the disconnect occured but the strategies later reconnected). I thought the issue was sovled.
I left my computer on again the following night (saturday 4th night), woke up sunday and found my strategies all NOT ACTIVE (i understand the markets are closed, but thats not relevant right now, iam only testing the connection loss handling logic).
The worrying thing is what he logs show... the disconnect start occuring at 5am ish...(london time)... then i see...

05/06/2016 05:02:16 Default Strategy 'VevoMain/75908922' lost price connection more than 4 times in the past 5 minutes and will be disabled.
This message appears for all strategies.
So ...
The strategy did not keep running, nor did they ever restart (like they did the previous night). No where in my connection loss settings listed above does it say anything about 4 times, or 5 minutes.... so whats going on ?
Thank you in advance.
