Unable To Establish Connection (Panic) several times daily

I’m getting the error, “Unable To Establish Connection (Panic)” at least several times every day.

  • My PC is set to not allow turning off power to network adapter, ethernet adapter, and wifi adapter.
  • My PC is connected via Wifi. The router is 2feet from my PC. Is this the most likely culprit?
  • Is there any way to increase the number of reconnection attempts, or increase the timeout before it gives up? I just lost most of my profit for the week because of this

Move up to a virtual private server (VPS) if you are running a simple strategy with out order flow. You can code a heart beat that will flash a background grid (or turn something on or off) to monitor as a visual cue if your remote desktop connection has frozen. Better up time and lower comm latency.

If you are trading with order flow then likely not a good idea due to data storage problems.

A two slice VPS should be less than $50 a month.

Run a hard ethernet line to your computer from your modem / router, to see if that fixes your connection issue.

Running NT over wifi is only asking for trouble especially if you’re downloading tick data. I would strongly advise putting your pc on a wired gigE connection.

Keep a command window open on the side and run a continuous ping to your internet gateway to see if you’re getting any packet drops.

ping -t Gateway-IP

Thank you. I’ve switched to direct ethernet, and have also set up a very cheap VPS with UptimeKuma so it alerts me via email, SMS and Slack if my PC goes offline. I’ve also created an addon that will email me if the data connection is lost

Sounds good @RunicTools.

Your problemas inspired me to get together a good Ai prompt for a systemic performance logger.

I don’t have time to flush it out yet. But it is on the To Do list to integrate this kind of systemic monitoring.

If there is something that would be cool to add to it, let me know.
