Subscribe to the account information channel to keep track of your positions. The account information channel provides a snapshot and updates on the positions in your account. The snapshot is delivered upon subscribing and any changes to your positions will be provided as updates for as long as the channel remains open. Any authenticated connection is automatically subscribed to the account information channel.

Example code to open an authenticated connection can be found on our Authenticated Channels Page.

Position events are sent with CHAN_ID = 0 and can be identified by looking at the TYPE stream field. Positions events will use one of the following abbreviations: 'ps' (positions snapshot), 'pn' (position new), 'pu' (position update), and 'pc' (position close).

NOTE

A calc request can be sent to request that the value be updated. See calc input dedicated section for more details.
