Topic: Unsuccessful pings
Popov,
Do you think that such a high rate of 'unsuccessuful pings' are quite normal ?
Thanks.

Re: Unsuccessful pings
It's not normal. It happens when the computer is overloaded (one core processor).
Also some kind of software is able to stop MT-FST communication. For example Garmin nRoute stops the connection for 2 seconds every 5 minutes.

Popov,
I have a quad-core processor and no such Garmin apps running.
Apparently, it was a transient problem that has just happened this morning.
Here-attached pic shows other 'ping' messages but none looks like those that I had this morning.
Your comments are welcome.

Re: Unsuccessful pings
These are OK.
Forex Strategy Trader uses two methods for updating market conditions:
- Tick. When there is a new tick MT sends an event to FST.
- Ping. When there is no ticks for more then a second, FST sends a ping to MT. Some times this ping finds a new price just arrived and not yet reported via a tick event.
These messages are normal. I'm going to remove them in the next release of FST.
