Hi!
I was wondering which share of stock alpaca decides to sell.
Ex: if I bought AAPL 3 days ago and 2 days ago, if I sell 1 share of AAPL today, which share would be sold?
Gracias

Its in the portfolio object when you buy the stock it shows avg_price, that is how I determine when the positions will be profitable.

That does not answer the question. Knowing from which lot shares were chosen to sell makes a difference in whether you are paying ordinary income tax or capital gains (short term).
