The method used by shodson was made redundant by Twitter some time ago - if you know how to program you may need want to look at some generic c# examples/discussion, like the one here:

c# - Twitter POST problems using api 1.1 - Stack Overflow

Twitter API added to Ninja... please? - Page 2 - [AUTOLINK]NinjaTrader[/AUTOLINK] Support Forum

Otherwise you need to hope someone will post new working example here.

I have been using simple SendMail commands from within my Ninjascript, to email to a TwitterMail address, with NinjaTrader configured via gmail's SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com, port 587, SSL), for well over a year now. The "tweet" is uniformly "received" within a second, and, other than what was a twittermail problem some months ago (was down for a few days), the solution works flawlessly and around the clock.

thank you....

I also have another problem.

I use this as my code:
Twitter t = new Twitter(Username, Password);
t.Status.Update("status = " + msg +"Instrument = " +Instrument.FullName
+"Direction = " +SignalType +"Close Price = " +Close[0] +"Date/Time = " +SignalTime);

but wen I compile this code it says that Object refferences not set of an object what does it mean?

im glad if some can answer me...

Request.Url.AbsoluteUri);

Response.Redirect(string.Format("this is a link to find if the result is success or not",
reqToken.Token));

}
else
{
string requestToken = Request["oauth_token"].ToString();
string pin = Request["oauth_verifier"].ToString();

var tokens = OAuthUtility.GetAccessToken(

What scrip are using to resend by mail?

Thanks!

Thanks!

When a possible trigger/alert point has been hit, my code would issue something like the following code, to "tweet" out to me:

Code

SendMail ("<FullFormSourceFromEmailAddress>","<YourEmailonTwittermail>@twittermail.com", Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name + " Trigger signal printed on " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString()   +  BarsPeriod.Id.ToString().Substring(0,3) + " chart @ " + Time[0].ToString() ,"Possible Buy. Close Price was " + Close[0].ToString() + ". Bar low was " + Low[0].ToString() + "."  );

I just coded my automated strategy to post trades, entries, exits, and daily P/L summaries to a Twitter account. I tried using some of the 3rd-part .NET Twitter APIs but I couldn't get one to work (Twitteroo) so I just used the command-line API. You need to have a working copy of curl.exe on your machine and set it's path in the "cmd" string. I've attached a ZIP with the curl.exe I'm using on Vista Ultimate. The "user" and "password" parameters are your Twitter username and password you want to post to.

Code

        private void PostToTwitter(string msg, string user, string password)
        {
            try
            {
                string cmd = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\curl.exe";
                string args = "-u " + user + ":" + password -d status=\"" 
                    + msg + "\" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";    
                
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(cmd, args);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Print(ex.Message);
            }
        }

I don't know, you don't even explain what the error message is that you are getting. I wrote this code 8 years ago. I don't post trade updates to Twitter anymore. Maybe Twitter changed their API so that might explain why this doesn't work anymore.

Its erroring at the following code Line:

string args = "-u " + "twitter-username" + ":" + "twitter-pwd" -d status=\"" + msg + "\" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";

Error : ; expected at line 32 column 83
Error : Unexpected Character "\" at line 32 column 90

I tried it several way but the error is not getting resolved, maybe you can help

Also getting error @ Line 24, column 31
Error: NinjaTrader.Strategy is a 'namespace' but is used like 'type'

The is the code line : public class PostToTwitter : Strategy

If you copy the complete code and compile, you will see the errors, just replace twitter username/pwd with yours.
