MT4 Indicator for Trump Truth Social Alerts

What about creating a indi that alarms when Trump made any social statement and plots it on main chart. The recent comments from him out on Truth Social made tremendous effects on the markets resulting in instant movement from pure posts online. Because the man is as he is, statements released online is now a direct importance equal to a fed meeting. Can someone create a indicator for this, fetching DLL, connect a crawler or something, or find a server with this info to draw from. Of course the feed needs to be free... does just RSS work from Truth social. Even better of a editable input on source site and defined word could be utilized. I will post some code for this here. + + + Create it and ill give a full News Indicator with everyday and beyond News plotting, feed and updated, no cost, for FREE >>>

1. Modified MQL4 Indicator (Vertical Line)
File Name: TrumpTruthSocialAlert.mq4

#property copyright "YourName"
#property version "1.00"
#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
// File path must match the Python script's output
string FILENAME = "C:/MT4_Files/trump_post_alert.txt";
datetime lastAlertTime = 0;
int OnInit()
{
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total, ...)
{
CheckForNewPost();
return(rates_total);
}
void CheckForNewPost()
{
int handle = FileOpen(FILENAME, FILE_READ|FILE_TXT);
if (handle == INVALID_HANDLE) return;
string data = FileReadString(handle);
FileClose(handle);
datetime timestamp = (datetime)StringToInteger(data);

if (timestamp > lastAlertTime)
{
lastAlertTime = timestamp;
TriggerAlert();
}
}
void TriggerAlert()
{
// Draw vertical line at current time
datetime currentTime = TimeCurrent();
string lineName = "TrumpPostLine_" + TimeToString(currentTime);

ObjectCreate(lineName, OBJ_VLINE, 0, currentTime, 0);
ObjectSet(lineName, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrRed);
ObjectSet(lineName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
// Sound alert
Alert("New Trump Truth Social post detected!");
PlaySound("alert.wav"); // Ensure alert.wav is in MT4/Sounds/
}


2. Python Script (Data Fetcher)
File Name: truth_social_monitor.py

import requests
import time
import os
# Configuration
ALERT_FILE = "C:/MT4_Files/trump_post_alert.txt"
CHECK_INTERVAL = 60 # Check every 60 seconds
TEST_MODE = True # Simulate alerts for testing
def simulate_post():
"""Simulate a post detection (for testing)."""
with open(ALERT_FILE, "w") as f:
f.write(str(int(time.time()))) # Write current timestamp
def check_real_post():
"""Replace this with actual Truth Social API/web scraping logic."""
# Hypothetical example (not functional - requires API access/scraping)
try:
# response = requests.get("TRUTH_SOCIAL_API_URL")
# if new_post: simulate_post()
pass
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Create directory if missing
os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(ALERT_FILE), exist_ok=True)

while True:
if TEST_MODE:
simulate_post() # Simulate a post every CHECK_INTERVAL seconds
print("Test alert triggered. Check MT4.")
else:
check_real_post()

time.sleep(CHECK_INTERVAL)

3. Required Files

1. Alert Sound File:
   1. Download a sound file (e.g., alert.wav) and place it in MT4/Sounds/.
   2. Example: Free Alert Sound

2. File Structure:

C:/MT4_Files/
├── trump_post_alert.txt # Alert file (auto-generated)
├── truth_social_monitor.py # Python script


Why Python vs. DLL?
Python + FileDLL Approach
Easy to implement Requires C/C++ knowledge
No MT4 recompilation Tighter MT4 integration
External dependency No external scripts
Slower (file I/O) Faster execution


Step 1: Create a C++ DLL (Visual Studio)
File: TruthSocialBridge.cpp

#include <Windows.h>
#include <WinINet.h>
#include <string>
// Replace with actual Truth Social API endpoint or scraping logic
#define TRUTH_SOCIAL_URL L"https://api.truthsocial.com/trump/posts"
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) bool __stdcall CheckForNewPost()
{
HINTERNET hInternet = InternetOpenW(L"MT4 TruthSocial Scraper", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, NULL, 0);
if (!hInternet) return false;
HINTERNET hUrl = InternetOpenUrlW(hInternet, TRUTH_SOCIAL_URL, NULL, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0);
if (!hUrl) {
InternetCloseHandle(hInternet);
return false;
}
// Add logic to parse response for new posts
// (This is a placeholder - implement actual parsing)
bool newPostDetected = false;
InternetCloseHandle(hUrl);
InternetCloseHandle(hInternet);
return newPostDetected;
}


Step 2: MT4 Indicator Using DLL
File: TrumpTruthSocialDLL.mq4

#property copyright "YourName"
#property version "1.00"
#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
#import "TruthSocialBridge.dll"
bool CheckForNewPost();
datetime lastAlertTime = 0;
int OnInit()
{
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total, ...)
{
if (CheckForNewPost()) TriggerAlert();
return(rates_total);
}
void TriggerAlert()
{
datetime currentTime = TimeCurrent();
if (currentTime <= lastAlertTime) return;
lastAlertTime = currentTime;

// Draw vertical line
string lineName = "TrumpPost_" + TimeToString(currentTime);
ObjectCreate(lineName, OBJ_VLINE, 0, currentTime, 0);
ObjectSet(lineName, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrRed);
ObjectSet(lineName, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
// Sound alert
Alert("New Trump Truth Social post detected!");
PlaySound("alert.wav");
}

yeah it's actually a cool idea man, no doubt his posts can move markets like crazy sometimes. but problem is, by the time an indicator grabs that info — whether from RSS or a crawler or whatever — market's already reacted. like algos and big traders pick that stuff up instantly, within milliseconds, so by the time your chart shows “Trump said this,” price already moved. It could still be useful tho, like for marking events or reviewing what caused spikes later on. but for trading in real time, it’s prob too late unless you’re super fast with your pipeline. still would be cool to play around with it, post the code when you got it!

Yeah its for plotting and complement to news indicators. Most live news channels takes at least 5 min to react on his posts. 5 first minutes would be a charm on my chart, instant alarm too. It could fetch a snippet or the whole text too. My free news indi is already doing this for all news accurately - for the one making this indi ill give it complete handover with setting for FREE, someone just make the indicator ok!
