Order and trade logs for trades done in a day

Hi,

I was wondering whether there are any order/trade logs which could be accessed by us to analyse our trades better (currently I am doing only paper trading, but this feature could be equally if not more important for live trading as well)

Currently, I am logging my orders and trades within my script for post trade analysis. It would be great if we could access relevant log files and get these directly from them.

Thanks

@sarahvignale If it’s your account then simply use your API keys to fetch orders. If it’s a third party account you can do the same thing, but in place of using API keys you can use an OAuth token. There is information here on how to generate OAuth codes and tokens.

Thank you @Dan_Whitnable_Alpaca for your reply.

If it’s your account then simply use your API keys to fetch orders.

I believe that you meant to use the following piece of code :

trading_client = TradingClient(‘api-key’, ‘secret-key’, paper=True)

request_params = GetOrdersRequest(
status=QueryOrderStatus.OPEN,
side=OrderSide.SELL
)

orders = trading_client.get_orders(filter=request_params)

However, how exactly can we obtain the trade done for a particular day, that is a list with associated prices?

Thanks
