I need to monitor my data feed for disconnection. For whatever reason my broker's servers are sometimes completely unavailable for a few minutes at night (eastern time zone). I would like to send myself an email and/or generate a looping sound to notify me that NT is unable to act on (protective stop) orders while I am sleeping with open positions.
I know how to email myself alerts and play sounds but I don't know what to use to monitor the data feed.
Can this be done? If so, what functions/methods/etc should I be looking at?
Thanks in advance.
