i'm working on automation for a stable service environment for my strategies.
Following Applications / Versions are in place:
NT8 (8.0.20.1)
TWS from IB / Captader (978.1h)
1.) First i tried/checked auto restart for TWS by it self. It is still working good. After a quick shotdown of around 20-30sec. TWS is reconnected to IB and up and running fine, without any issues!!!
2.) Second, i connected from NT8 to running TWS (started manually or by NT8 makes no differnce), works also without any issue!
BUT, if time for (auto restart) for TWS is comming and is processing this task, connect from NT8 to TWS is complete gone and cannot automatically reestablished!!!!
NT8 provides an error message, that shows that connection to TWS was lost and that this problem is a big issue. (PANIC) (see screenshot)
After 20-30sec. when TWS is up and running again you can click by hand / manual to establish a new connection from NT8 to TWS.
Those an approach seems very unprofessional for me... :-(
Also it brings up a big, big issue, for my strategies...
With strategy-setting (Wait until flat) in combination with a lost connection to my account comes in place, strategy will not know right current position for the strategy and wait until all positions would be closed by hand.
This seems not practical at all... :-(
How does any body handle this system behavoir and also have some practical informations to make this combination of applications/services working professional / stable over mind. one week?
Hope some one can help me out... :-)
With best regards,
Peter Golz
