This has happened twice and the scenario was more or less identical. Today's scenario was exactly as follows:
1- Run a strategy with NT connected to IB. Everything works fine and orders are triggered as expected.
2- unplug the ethernet cable to simulate a loss of connection (log messages in NT Control Centre show loss of connection/data farm connection broken, but also indicate that the strategy will keep running as per my strategy setting).
3- Close the lid of the laptop - computer goes to sleep.
4- When I plug the ethernet cable back (after waking up the computer), the connection comes back but any further signals in the strategy as monitored from the charts are not taken (not also that the chart does not automatically fill back the "holes" in the bars (ie it seems to catch up from where it left off by aggregating all price moves during that time in one bar?).
The strategy still says that it is running but it does not seem to be.
What is the normal procedure to ensure that the strategy simply picks up from where it left off after a connection interruption?
(ps I tried the different "sync" options in the settings but that does not seem to fix it)
