myfxbook has the nice twitter feature. Is it also possible to tweet our positions to StockTwits?
I tried some settings in myfxbook, but didn't get it work so far. If you tweet directly to StockTwits, Stockwits also sends it to Twitter. But if you send it to Twitter, it dosn't send it to Stocktwits.
Are there any solutions?

Many small positions are better than one big position.

Hi speculare,
You'll have to use specific tags in your tweets for it to get picked up on the StockTwits feed. For example, if your tweet is about EUR/USD, you would enter $EURUSD in the tweet and that tweet will get picked up by the Stocktwits forex feed. So add the '$' to the beginning of the currency pair. Also leave out the '/' in between EUR and USD. So just $EURUSD. I do believe including a weblink in the tweet would lower the chances of getting your tweet in the feed.

Hey Jason,
you are right - thanks for your response! If I do the way as you explained above, it works well. : )
It seems to work with '$' + currency pairs, but not with others - for example like $FOREX. Unfortunatly we can only use general tags, if we trade several pairs, we want to tweet by myfxbook.
Do you know, where I could read, which tags are supported to tweet from Twitter to StockTwits? I didn't find anything in the help section.
Cheers,
speculare

Here's the help page that goes over the tagging https://stocktwits.com/webhelp#postingticker . According to this page there's supposed to be a list of forex symbols but the link goes to their blog for some reason and I don't see the list anywhere. I'm guessing they've linked to the wrong page. Though the futures list goes to the correct directory https://stocktwits.com/futures-directory . May be something to contact their support about. They're pretty good to responding quickly to questions.
I know '$$' will add a tweet to the general market commentary, but I don't think they would appreciate forex trade updates being sent there.
