This is almost never necessary to do. We strongly recommend not doing it and it accomplishes nothing, except causing more work for yourself, especially in this case.


Is there any way to disconnect and connect the Data Feed in ACSIL?
Yes there is. This is documented on the ACSIL Variables page. Have a look. There are three variables that control this.


Other suggestion would be that you include an option in SC which checks the DF counter (in the up right side of the chart, in green) which
is stopped as well when this happens and, when the number is the same during X seconds, SC performs a Dis-Con automatically (X would be
configurable and decided by every user)

This is supported with all network connections that Sierra Chart supports. However, in the case of CQG market data, the time span is long because CQG did not offer what is known as heartbeat messages on the web API connection. They recently implemented this and we added support for this. Update to the latest prerelease and now this will be done properly for CQG.
