where OnConnectionStatusUpdate() should be putted?

[zoharcho]

Hi,

where OnConnectionStatusUpdate() should be putted?

should it be put first? before everything? when a connection is lost, I want to make it reload historical data so I wont have data gap, as I currently have.

thank you.

Hello zoharcho,

Thank you for your reply.

There's not a specific order it needs to be in, it just needs to be somewhere inside the strategy class.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hi, I used the code in the documentation to reload all data when reconnect, and this error happened:
look at the picture

any idea why? seen this before?

[zoharcho]

it is also unrepairable, I have to close the chart and open a new one.

To which documentation do you refer?

Who is your data feed provider?
Did you check the Log tab for any error messages?

Hello zoharcho,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you receive an error in the log tab of the Control Center regarding the strategy? How many days to load do you have on the chart?

I'm attaching an example that's a modified version of an example I've previously sent you that will reload all historical data after a connection loss - I'd take a look at this and compare to what you've got within your strategy to assess what may have caused the issue.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

IB is the provider

Yes, Log tab show just connection lost, not something special

Hi, thanks, it is pretty much the same code, just without the not to trade addition.
I had configured 15 days back.
I think I will live with the possibility of data gap, because I have seen that the reload history function seemed to mess up things...

charts with a 15 days back and 2min /3min was able to load properly. if you have any data about what are the limitation on those things it will be great.

Hello zoharcho,

Thank you for your reply.

There's not a solid limit for how many days to load you can do on your charts other than how far back your data provider has historical data available. That being said, the less days you're loading, the faster data will be able to be reloaded and the less performance impact there will be on the platform. This is especially true on tick based charts like renko charts - since these are built from ticks the amount of data to be reloaded would be much greater than, say, a daily chart where there's one bar per day. Depending on your PC hardware, the impact of loading historical data may vary.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thank you Kate,

I have a little issue here which I have no idea why:

I am putting a stop order using the chart trader in ninjatrader and I am trying to use the feature of the "attach to indicator"
but for some reason it is colored grey (both the enabled and properties)

Hello zoharcho,

Thank you for your reply.

I've seen this happen from time to time with Interactive Brokers - if you disconnect from your IB connection and reconnect, do you see the option available?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

[zoharcho]

No, I closed Ninjatrader, and it still didnt work.



2 days ago when I was on version 980.4i it worked well.

today I changed it to the recommended version and it doesn't work
as you can see in the picture. I don't know if it is related.

seemed this problem exist since 2018:

let me know what you think, thanks in advance.

Hello zoharcho,

Thank you for your reply.

Please restart your PC, then restart NinjaTrader and TWS and test. I'm unable to reproduce this reliably, so it's likely an issue with the connection either between IB and their servers or IB > NinjaTrader.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Ok, thank you
