I am using the new feed with IB. Trading NQ, ES, and EU. For both overnite periods when I am not trading, I leave both platforms running but I lock the IB platform so that it can't be traded. On both occasions, when I start in the morning, the feed is in disconnected mode. I also had one brief outage yesterday which I have not experienced recently with IQ. The daytime outage reconnected on its own but the overnite did not. Why might I be losing my connection? thanks

If you lose the connection to Trader Workstation, then you will be disconnected from the Sierra Chart Real-time Futures Data Service.

Is Sierra Chart losing connection to Trader Workstation at the time? You can check this in Window >> Show/Hide Message Log.

In the log it appears that it first lost the connection, then when it tried to connect, it was rejected by IB because I had TWS locked. SC then began retrying every 3 minutes with the same result. So it appears that if I lock TWS and lose the connection to it, TWS will not allow reconnection until I unlock TWS. Does that sound correct?
And when I reconnect in this situation, will I need to refresh the data or will SC fill in the missing period on reconnect? Thanks

Yes.

You will not need to re-download the data. The missing data will be very reliably downloaded. This you will have no trouble with.

We will consider how when you lose the connection to the Trader Workstation, that we can keep the Sierra Chart futures real-time data feed going.
