Sending a tweet from TS (looking for Guinea pigs!)

May 17th, 2016, 12:49 PM

I wrote something for one my clients who wanted to send strategy events to Twitter, and it seems to work.
As I don't have any TS accounts for extensive tests I'm looking for Guinea pigs who may be interested in this.

The EL strategy or indicator will look like this:

Code

                            
external method: "TStweet.dll", int, "exeTweet", string ;



variables:

    int ret ( 0 ) ,

    string toSend ( " " );



toSend = "BUY " + GetSymbolName;

ret = exeTweet( toSend ) ;

If someone want to try it let me know!

Twitter "hates" automated scripts and does not expose them to a large group of users if accompanied by popular hashtags.
My suggestions is to use this for strategies that do not send trades frequently accompanied by some human verbiage.

Thanks,

You can actually just use the Alert via Email and it will do the same thing.

Hey Sam,

are you still interested in testing ppl your Twitter-app ? I would like to test it from Multicharts as the code seems to work in MC as well.

Thank you.

Kind Regards
