Provider name OnConnectionStatus

[sammano]

Hi,

How do I get the Provider name of the OnConnectionStatus event handler?
- My primary connection is Zen-Fire broker account
- Second data feed Kinetick Realtime

Thank you in advance.

Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider.ToStri ng()

A Known Issue with NT7 is the name of the second connection is always the same as the first.For Zen that returns "Hosted".

[sammano]

Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider

protectedoverridevoid OnConnectionStatus(ConnectionStatus orderStatus, ConnectionStatus priceStatus)

It would be ideal if we have:

1) Bars.MarketData.Connections[] or
2) receive provider info via OnConnectionStatus to identify which conection is beeing handled in this instance of event...

Thanks MXASJ for your reply.

You might find this code handy. Its part of a Strat I run whenever I'm trading, though it doesn't trade itself and just monitors things. Note ConnectionStatus appears to be called OnStartUp() as well.

In Variables:

[COLOR=blue]private[/COLOR] [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR] badPriceDataFeed = [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].Connected;
[COLOR=blue]private[/COLOR] [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR] badOrderDataFeed = [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].Connected;

And the main code

[COLOR=blue]#region[/COLOR] OnConnectionStatus()
	[COLOR=blue]protected[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]override[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]void[/COLOR] OnConnectionStatus([COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR] orderStatus, [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR] priceStatus)
	[COLOR=green]//This method is caled once for every change in connection status[/COLOR]
	
		{[COLOR=green]//Open OnConnectionStatus()[/COLOR]
		[COLOR=blue]if[/COLOR] (BarsInProgress != 0) [COLOR=blue]return[/COLOR];
		badPriceDataFeed = priceStatus;
		badOrderDataFeed = orderStatus;
			
		Print([COLOR=#2b91af]DateTime[/COLOR].Now + [COLOR=#a31515]" Connection '"[/COLOR] + Bars.MarketData.Connection.Options.Provider.ToString() + [COLOR=#a31515]"' Order Server: "[/COLOR]
			+ orderStatus + [COLOR=#a31515]". Price Server: "[/COLOR] + priceStatus + [COLOR=#a31515]"."[/COLOR]);
		
		[COLOR=blue]if[/COLOR] (badOrderDataFeed == [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].ConnectionLost && alertsWindow)  Alert([COLOR=#a31515]"orderconnectionlost"[/COLOR], NinjaTrader.Cbi.[COLOR=#2b91af]Priority[/COLOR].High, [COLOR=#a31515]"Order Server Connection Lost"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#a31515]"triple_klaxon.wav"[/COLOR], 10, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].Red, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].White);
		[COLOR=blue]if[/COLOR] (badPriceDataFeed == [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].ConnectionLost && alertsWindow)  Alert([COLOR=#a31515]"priceconnectionlost"[/COLOR], NinjaTrader.Cbi.[COLOR=#2b91af]Priority[/COLOR].High, [COLOR=#a31515]"Price Server Connection Lost"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#a31515]"triple_klaxon.wav"[/COLOR], 10, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].Red, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].White);
		[COLOR=blue]if[/COLOR] (badPriceDataFeed == [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].Connected && badOrderDataFeed == [COLOR=#2b91af]ConnectionStatus[/COLOR].Connected && alertsWindow)  Alert([COLOR=#a31515]"connectionsOK"[/COLOR], NinjaTrader.Cbi.[COLOR=#2b91af]Priority[/COLOR].Low, [COLOR=#a31515]"Price and Order Server Connected"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#a31515]"Connected.wav"[/COLOR], 10, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].Green, [COLOR=#2b91af]Color[/COLOR].White);
		[COLOR=green]// NOTE: If you connect to a second data source or broker, the connection name will always refer to the primary connection.[/COLOR]
		[COLOR=green]// That is a Known Issue with NT as of NT7b15.[/COLOR]
			
		}[COLOR=green]//CloseOnConnectionStatus[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]	#endregion[/COLOR]

Multiple connections

As I mentioned in the bottom of my thread I’ve two simultaneous connections and I need to check precisely which of the connection lost.

I found another way of checking the Provider of the trading account price/data feed by enumerating “Bars.MarketData.Connection.Accounts” object. I’ve just coded it and test for couple of days. If that works I will post back here.

Thanks guys.
