Hi there,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this. Hopefully such changes do not happen often. What you could do would be to monitor the connection i.e. receiving heartbeats from the server. If your application stops receiving heartbeats, it should notify you.

Best regards,

Oh, that is a bad news… Critical for any serious automated systems, may be good for hobbyists though… 

Are you from cTrader official? Do you have any plan to implement this? 

Or don't you notify the changes of the host names earlier? Your suggestion is not prior notification, just a troubleshooting after the problem occurs. You should know when the hostname changes. Please notify BEFORE you do that. Most online systems notify planned changes earlier to the users. There is no reason that such a mission critical trading system does not do this. 

Isn't it aws global accelerator ?
