Message on a Discord Channel everytime a trade is Opened or Closed and an Update every hour

Hello, I am sending update messages to a discord channel from the VPS where Ctrader is working.

The problem I found was related to the Net version, needed to use net 5 so that there is a Ctrader Bot code and a c sharp app to be compiled in Visual Studio with net 5 target.

Apparently the issue is with Newonsoft Json serialization, I took a shortcut, console app net5 external, the code is right below.

This is the C sharp console app NET 5 , you need to create a webhook in discord and get the token.

Has to be saved in the correct path and with the right name... "C:\\DiscordMessage\\ConsoleApp1.exe

set the timeframe to 5 min before running to get also the updates, if you set the timeframe to >5minutes you will only get Open and Closed updates.

// C sharp NET 5 console app to send a message on Discord webhook

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string token = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOURTOKEN";

            WebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(token);

            wr.ContentType = "application/json";

            wr.Method = "POST";

            using (var sw = new StreamWriter(wr.GetRequestStream()))
            {
                string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
                {
                    username = "KeepCalm_Bot",
                    content= string.Join(" ", args) ,
                    

                });
                sw.Write(json);
            }
            var response=(HttpWebResponse)wr.GetResponse();
            
        }
    }
}
 

Now you need a new Ctrader Bot that send the updates and position open and close messages using the console app.
