Blog post part 6 - Reconnecting strategies

In this post we discuss how to react to exchange service disruptions. This is a very important topic that differentiates professionals from people who are just playing with the idea of automatic trading.

How will your trading bot behave if there is a network connection problem? Suddenly, you get disconnected. What do you do? What if the connection is reestablished but you get disconnected in couple of seconds again?

Whale's Secret ScriptApiLib offers a solution in form of connection strategies. You can choose the strategy that is applied when a problem occurs and the selected strategy is then applied automatically.
