Re: email/SMS when MC or a strategy gets disconnected
you would need to create an alert. In the strategy settings, you can specify what happens with that alert, including sending an email or playing a sound. Most cell phone carriers offer you to send text messages as email.
Keep in mind that when you lose connectivity due to internet outage, you will probably not be able to send an email.
Also, Portfolio Trader right now cannot send email alerts.

thanks Felix. while Googling for this, found a useful site http://triagetrading.com/#you would need to create an alert.

Re: email/SMS when MC or a strategy gets disconnected
You will want to create an indicator to measure the time between incoming ticks. When the time exceeds your threshold, say 30 seconds, then an alert goes off. You can set this alert to email a text message to your mobile device.
Alongside that you can setup a separate server or server software which constantly pings your server which will also text your mobile device when a round-trip ping isn't successful.

1) alert when one strategy gets disconnect for some reason
2) alert when MC disconnects
3) alert when server itself gets disconnected
i think you covered all three here, thks
