My practice portfolio
paper_portfolio_stateRead the state of the practice (demo) account of the signed-in user: cash, the value of the account, its positions and the orders that are still open. This is a practice account: the money is virtual and no real order is sent to a broker or an exchange; valuations use stored, delayed quotes. Use it to answer "what is in my practice portfolio", before placing a practice order (available_cash, available_lots) and after one — to see whether it filled. totals: equity (cash plus positions), cash, available_cash (cash not reserved by open buy orders), reserved_cash, total_pnl against the starting cash, day_pnl. The totals and the positions of one answer are calculated together, past the caches of the site, at totals.calculated_at (also as_of of the answer); positions_count is the length of the positions list. If any position has no usable price, the value of the account is not known: totals.equity, total_pnl, total_pnl_pct, day_pnl and day_pnl_pct are null — absent, never a sum without that position — totals.unvalued_positions says how many positions are not valued, and valuation_note says it in words; cash and available_cash stay. positions: ticker, quantity in shares, lot_size (the lot the practice engine trades this instrument in), lots and available_lots (whole lots — the unit paper_order_place takes), average_price and last_price per share, market_value, unrealized_pnl. A position without a usable price has last_price, market_value and unrealized_pnl null — absent, never zero — and valuation_state says why. open_orders: accepted orders that have not filled yet, oldest first, at most 50 of them; status_explanation says why each one waits. totals.open_orders_count is the full number of open orders; when it is larger than the list, open_orders_truncated is true and open_orders_note says so in words — never read a shortened list as all the orders. market says whether the trading session is open and how old the quotes are. Money is in the base currency of the account (account.base_currency); prices are per share in the currency named by the currency field next to them. total is the number of positions. A user who has not opened a practice account yet gets has_account=false with a hint: only the user can open one, on the site; this tool creates nothing. It only reads. Needs the paper permission of the sign-in.
