Dear Trader,

There is no method offered in cAlgo to post messages to social networking sites. However, you can take advantage of the C# language used in cAlgo and you can write some methods of your own to achieve it. A simple search using any search engine will show you several examples on how to post something to a social networking site.

I hope that someone already wrote a simple example :). I do not want again to look for the simplest solutions.

Thanks for Your time.

Its pretty simple to send a tweet with C# using twitter API, you need to open a twitter account that you want to post from and get your authentication codes, it has been a while since i worked on the twitter API, but it is something like this:

// TwitterCredentials.SetCredentials("Access_Token", "Access_Token_Secret", "Consumer_Key", "Consumer_Secret");
TwitterCredentials.SetCredentials("2252688033-b20s6VyUbgMhhq60mgt8H5i1FlT2IkG", "Gb6q86w7WZR0BCFbPbeRMLLbxcMKowODjN8Ho4SdW", "1EDHuiqKRaor771Fu7SCy", "pguFU6zPYALGBtReR5vElfBLM78PLoSKbI23oGudh");

var tweet = Tweet.CreateTweet("this is your tweet");
var success = tweet.Publish();

you can also tweet with media images, so you can auto tweet every time you win a trade with a screen shot if your clever.

have fun.

i think the API call is a few lines of code, i do not know what you have there. I looked at my old code and it was simply less than 5 lines of code.

have you looked at the Twitter API?

another example

var service = new TweetSharp.TwitterService("ConsumerKey","ConsumerSecret","TokenKey","TokenSecretKey"); //Replace keys with values from step #5
var twitterStatus = service.SendTweet(new SendTweetOptions() { Status ="Hello World" });
if (twitterStatus != null)
{
    MessageBox.Show("It worked");
}

I was using TweetInvi wrapper

https://tweetinvi.codeplex.com/

add the Nuget pachage to VS

https://www.nuget.org/packages/TweetinviAPI/

you will get the references I showed you above in your solution then simply write 3 meaningfully clear lines of code to send a tweet.

TwitterCredentials.SetCredentials("Access_Token", "Access_Token_Secret", "Consumer_Key", "Consumer_Secret");
 
var tweet = Tweet.CreateTweet("this is your tweet");
var success = tweet.Publish();

good luck.

If you want to copy to a VPS for example; just install the cBot like you would normally would and copy the TweetInvi assemblies across, create a folder in your robots directory where all the bots live and put the library files there so you can share the assemblies with other robots.

in cAlgo click on manage references of your robot then choose Libraries, browse to the folder where the Tweetinvi library files are located and add them, its a very simple and easy procedure.

There are some very good libraries out there which wrap up complex logic for programming languages and provide simple logic for what was once complex tasks, Microsoft has been doing this for years, their framework is just many libraries of wrapped up logic. The TweekInvi makes life very simple and increases productivity and simplicity allowing rapid development of software.

Thanks for help.

i tried to add the Tweetinvi package to calgo using nuget (by command line) but once package installed i do not see it in .net reference or library...

How do you use it ?

Get it on Nuget ;) To do that, you can open the bot on visual studio and just add the nuget package ;)

By any chance, can you please provide me dll for these libraries for me to add as "reference" in cTrader ? I don't use VS ( dont' even know much about it) but can add a library in cTrader via "Manage References" and then adding it in cBot like "using Tweetinvi"

Will you be kind to help me out ?
