Pull Pos Qty from TOS #22

Closed shivamdpat94 closed 4 years ago

shivamdpat94 commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I've successfully connected to TOSDB and have integrated Custom quotes into my python code. I would like to also add "Pos Qty" from the marketwatch/quotes tab as well. It can be added to the table as a column but is not a Custom Quote. It is a Porfolio type instead. It may also go by the name "POSITION_QTY". In the meta_enum.py file, I have looked through the possible topics by looking into dir(cls) on line 124. I do not see anything like Pos Qty as a possible topic. I would like to be able to import data from TOS showing me my share sizes for each stock in the Marketwatch/quotes section. Is this possible using TOSDB?

The topics listed are the only ones available. The only other way to do this would be to access the data through a CUSTOM quote. I believe there is a function for this in thinkscript that you can try using inside a CUSTOM quote script: https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Portfolio/GetQuantity

I've given that a try but it appears Portfolio functions such as GetQuotes() is not a callable function in custom quotes. I'm able to use the function in thinkscript when creating an indicator but not in thinkscript when developing a Custom Quote. I am assuming then that there is no way for my python program to be aware of my Portolio size as it is running.

Looks that way. You can always use the TDMA API directly - but that's significantly more work.
