To display the number of tweets per day for a currency pair:
indicator_1 = GetDataCount("stocktwits", "title");
The number of tweets for a particular trading day is higher than two times the 10-bar moving average of the number of tweets:
indicator_1 = GetDataCount("stocktwits", "title");
indicator_2 = indicator_1 > 2 * sma(indicator_1, 10);
Gets for each trading day, the number of tweets that occurred between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.
indicator_1 = GetDataCountInside("stocktwits", "title", 5, 10, P_Hour);
Counts the number of tweets that match a given regular expression:
indicator_1 = GetDataStringCount("stocktwits", "title", "regular expression");
Use the News parser function to get bars where at least one tweet contains one of the following words: short, sell, drop, falls.
indicator_1 = ContainsWords('stocktwits', 'title', 'short,sell,drop,falls');
You can use the News Sentiment Indicator to create a sentiment indicator using the stocktwits database:
indicator_1 = news_sentiment('stocktwits', 'title', 'buy,good,better,bull', 'sell,bad,lower,bear');
