Ninjatrader Strategy - Usage of Print method in Share Service

[suroot]

Hi,

I want to get notified when my strategy takes a trade when I'm not at the office. I've tried to implement the below, which works fine but having trouble getting the instrument name into the message:

Share(@"Twitter", @"LongEntry" + "-" + Print.Instrument.FullName.ToString());

What is the correct syntax of using "Print" in a strategy share service (what is the correct operator and howto get the instrument name correct in my pseudo code above)?

Thanks for any help!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your post.

You would not be able to use Print statement in the Share() method. The method overload you are using is: Share(string serviceName, string message);

Instrument.Fullname will return a string so does not need to Print or To.String().

Share(@"Twitter", @"LongEntry" + "-" +Instrument.FullName);

One more question: is it possible to do calculations under Share(); ?

Example: Share(@"ShareService", + " " + Close[0]-VAR.ToString());

Where VAR is a variable defined elsewhere.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, just like Print statement you can include calculations.
