I have created a strategy using OnConnectionStatus() to monitor connection status and to email when lost connection , and attached it to 1minute as strategy
unfortunately it does not seems to be working, no email when lost connection. Anyone can look at the code below?


// This namespace holds all strategies and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
/// <summary>
/// Enter the description of your strategy here
/// </summary>
[Description("Enter the description of your strategy here")]
public class CONNECTION : Strategy
{
#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
private ConnectionStatus dataFeed = ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost;
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>






protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
if (dataFeed != ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
{
// email when connectionlost
SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "lost connection", "lost connection");


}
}



protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
dataFeed = priceStatus;
}

Hi there!

I'm assuming your mail-server is tested and is operational. Otherwise you should see some errors popping up in the log.

You should avoid running the script in OnOrderUpdate. How would this be triggered if you have no connection?

Anyway, here is something that have worked for me:


protected override void OnConnectionStatusUpdate(ConnectionStatusEventArgs connectionStatusUpdate)
{
if(connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.Connected)
{
SendMail("post@****.com" , " Connection status OK" , "Connected at " + DateTime.Now );

}

else if(connectionStatusUpdate.Status == ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
{
SendMail("post@****.com" , " Connection Lost" , "Connection lost at " + DateTime.Now );

}
}


I also use this code for checking if the AC-power to the laptop is lost:

//AC-power check
if( SystemInformation.PowerStatus.PowerLineStatus == System.Windows.Forms.PowerLineStatus.Online) mailSent =false;

if ((BarsInProgress == 1 && mailSent == false) && SystemInformation.PowerStatus.PowerLineStatus != System.Windows.Forms.PowerLineStatus.Online)
{
SendMail("post@*****.com" , " !! Battery Alert !! " , " This is an auto generated email. Computer is running on battery power. Possible AC-power loss ");
mailSent = true;
}

Ah, this is NT7. Sorry about that.
Have you tried just performing the check inside the OnConnectionStatus? Something like this:


protected override void OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)
{
dataFeed = priceStatus;

if (dataFeed != ConnectionStatus.ConnectionLost)
{
// email when connectionlost
SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "lost connection", "lost connection");
}

}
