Add a limit to the number of broker reconnection attempt

Postby h4nk » 10 May 2012

I created a script to detect internet or broker disconnection using getappinfo(aistrategyauto). The idea is that when the auto trading turns off, the script plays a sound to notify me. So, if the internet is disconnected, can the OEC broker profile stop reconnecting after 2 failed attempts? It does not make sense to keep reconnecting indefinitely. There has to be a limit to reconnecting so that eventually the OEC broker profile turns red, the auto trading turns off and my script plays a sound.

Right now, there is no way to limit the broker reconnection attempt. I don't understand why such an obvious and critical feature like limit to broker reconnection attempt is missing.

Please vote for this critical feature:

Thanks for the info super. If it's available with IB, it must be available with the rest. This isn't hard to program feature. Why is it available only with IB?
