Good Morning,

In a reboot situation for my application, if I have open positions I need to get their current information to put back into the system in a relevant state.

Currently using trading.get\_all\_positions() and working my way through there, but the Position class doesn’t have an attirbute for when the position was opened. I need this to calculate the amount of margin accrued among other things.

Is there another method I’m missing that I should be using or could this be added to the Position model?

Thanks!
