I wish to loop through my position list, to get the symbols in it. How do I do that?
for exampl:
api.list\_positions()[0]
would return:
Position({ ‘asset\_class’: ‘us\_equity’,
‘asset\_id’: ‘f30d734c-2806-4d0d-b145-f9fade61432b’,
‘asset\_marginable’: True,
‘avg\_entry\_price’: ‘2615.88’,
‘change\_today’: ‘0.0017749437658003’,
‘cost\_basis’: ‘18311.16’,
‘current\_price’: ‘3019.53’,
‘exchange’: ‘NASDAQ’,
‘lastday\_price’: ‘3014.18’,
‘market\_value’: ‘21136.71’,
‘qty’: ‘7’,
‘side’: ‘long’,
‘symbol’: ‘GOOG’,
‘unrealized\_intraday\_pl’: ‘37.45’,
‘unrealized\_intraday\_plpc’: ‘0.0017749437658003’,
‘unrealized\_pl’: ‘2825.55’,
‘unrealized\_plpc’: ‘0.1543075370429836’})
* * *
now I would like to return only:
‘symbol’: ‘GOOG’
how do I go about it?

use for loop and return symbol
my\_positions = api.list\_positions()
for position in my\_positions:
print( **position.symbol** ,position.qty, position.market\_value)
