Dear Support Team,

I'm trying to put together a suitable code for re-establishing lost connection/authentication. Could you answer the questions as follows.

1. Is it possible to make automatic full re-connection trials (using IClient.connect()) with a live account at all? I mean, is captcha always needed for authentication or, re-connection trials (later calls of IClient.connect()) can be made without it?

2. There are several (three, I think) ways for a trader program to keep track of connection status. IClient.ISystemListener’s onConnect()/onDisconnect(), IClient.isConnected() and, within onMessage() of the strategy class itself, IConnectionStatusMessage.isConnected(). Are there any differences between these status indications or they always hold strictly the same status?

3. Is there any time-out set in the API for reconnection trials to take place? I mean, how long should an outage last so that you can definitely state that there is no hope to re-gain the connection by repeated calls of IClient.reconnect() and/or .connect()?

Thanks, regards,
Argiris

If you work with Standalone API, then there is no captcha.
IConnectionStatusMessage only arrives on system start and it won't inform you if the system is disconnected or trying to reconnect (such messages currently are not available from API). So basically onDisconnect() is the method to use to handle connectivity issues.
Regarding Standalone API - there are no such restrictions - your code determines how frequently the client tries to reconnect and also the attempt count, see:
