• ** Do not check the box for Plug-in connection unless you need to run several platforms at the same time through RTrader Pro.  See the RTrader Pro guide (connection method #3)  for more info: https://support.leelootrading.com/kb/a5/1_-required-first-step-rithmic-trader-pro.aspx

• If you want the connection to happen automatically when you launch the platform, you must enable the option Connect on startup.
• As practice shows, Rithmic connection is quite sensitive to the communication channel and the CPU load. If the CPU is heavily loaded or if there are problems with the communication channel, Rithmic connection may become unstable.

• Disconnection. For this situation, ATAS provides a notification.
• The potential connection loss. It is a kind of medium condition between the established and lost connection. At such moments Rithmic sends messages like: "PnL Connection - Heartbeat has been quiet for XX seconds". "Here, Trading Connection", "History Connection", etc. can stand instead of PnL Connection. These messages indicate that there was no data exchange with Rithmic connection for a certain number of seconds (PnL, trade, historical, etc.). For a trader it can mean the following:
• If there is a problem with the PnL connection: it is possible that price, volume, the direction of position in ATAS (the parameters that have been received before connection loss) can differ from Rithmic server parameters.
  If there are problems with trade connection: after sending set orders to Rithmic server, their state may not be sent back to ATAS.

1. If messages like "PnL Connection - Heartbeat has been quiet for XX seconds" are received, ATAS displays a pop-up window, which displays the text of the message.
2. Thereafter if the user tries to set the order or change the position, ATAS will require confirmation of the operation, in which all Rithmic messages obtained earlier will be displayed
   In this case, the user should decide whether or not to execute the order.
