Issue 1 - PFG Best takes down the datafeed and quote server weeknights at 8:30PM Central. This maintenance can last up to 30 minutes.
Issue 2 - Ninjatrader will not reconnect to the quote server after being disconnected for more than two minutes.
Neither party seems to be interested in finding a solution to the problem. NT isn't interested in adapting their software to account for maintenance schedules, and PFG isn't interested in looking for a workaround to minimize the downtime.
Thus if you are not daytrading, you will have to babysit every night to reconnect manually.
Certainly less than optimal.
I would be greatly interested in listening to a resolution to this continuing issue that renders NT & PFG combinations extremely problematic for overnight trading.
