NT 7 - strategy persistence

[heech]

Hi there,

Noted with great interest Ray's new update on NT7 development, as well as feature list. This level of transparency is very exciting.

A few comments in particular about strategy persistence + connection auto-connect at application startup, since these are features which are closest to my heart:

- for auto-connect, please make sure we can specify connection *order*. This is necessary when we use one connection for price data, and a second connection for order. I have to connect to IQFeed before IB, for example.

- for strategy persistence, please make sure ALL parameters (including 'account') are persisted.

- I would also love there to be an "automatically enable strategy at startup", but I can guess why (perhaps legal reasons?) NT doesn't support that. If this still isn't available in NT7, a great backup alternative would be if NT gave us a single hot-key combination for enabling "persistent" strategies after startup. This way, I can at least setup a macros to do what I need.

Very interested in seeing what new possibilities/flexibilities the new IOrder will give me.

You will be able to specify the connect order by naming your connections in alphabetical order.

Great, sounds like a fine solution.
