Hello DTSSTS,
Thanks for your post.

You can use Share() to send a message or post a screenshot to your Twitter account. The following snippet would post "your message here" to the configured Twitter account:

Share("Twitter", "your message here");

In regards to the items you want to include in the message, I have included their help guide links below:

You can use the Instrument object to get instrument related information:
Instrument-- https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...instrument.htm

You can use Close[0] to get the current price:
Current Price at time of share-- https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...-us/?close.htm

You can use Time[0] to get the current bar timestamp:
Time of alert-- https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...eries_time.htm

Instrument.GetInstrument(string instrumentName)

i just used

Instrument.GetInstrument

DTSSTS,

Using GetInstrument without an input would be incorrect.

What are you expecting the output for GetInstrument to be?

[DTSSTS]

the input is the strategy that triggered the share

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

DTSSTS,

the input is the strategy that triggered the share

I would like to know what output you expect, not the input.

I also still do not understand why you are using GetInstrument without an input and what you expect that to accomplish. Are you trying to get the name of the current instrument?

[DTSSTS]

yes i want the message to say

ADBE LongBounceVL Watch 182.45 <============ price of the last close bar that sent the share message

You can use the Instrument object to get instrument related information:
Instrument-- https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...instrument.htm

DTSSTS,

It looks like your string input is likely not formatted properly. Can you show some code?

For example, the following would share the current instrument name and the current close price to twitter.

Share("Twitter", "The instrument name is "+Instrument.FullName+" and the current price is "+Close[0]);

no body mention the + sign

[DTSSTS]

+Instrument.FullName+ the close only has " + " in front

[DTSSTS]

so is this what i need

DTSSTS,

no body mention the + sign

This is a general C# concept not exclusive to NinjaTrader. You can read more about string concatenation at the following public msdn link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ltiple-strings

Using the Strategy Builder is going to be another matter entirely as it will automatically concatenate the separate strings for you. When you want to create a string that contains the instrument name or the close price(or any other object) you need to click where it says "set", and then navigate the folders to find the object you want to use. You will not be able to simply enter in the information I have given you as a string.

Additionally, please be sure to include the fact you are working in the Strategy Builder to avoid confusion going forward.
