Possible to add attribute to Position object?

[jblewdv]

For my given algorithm I need to keep track of how many days each position has been held. So far, I haven't been able to find any built-in functionality for this. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Is it possible to add an attribute called "Duration" to each position object and increment the time held myself?

The feature request I just opened in our Alpaca-API issue tracker will be needed for this.

You could today, correlate your latest orders with your positions to find when the position was opened. Because positions can be a rollup of multiple orders or legs in/out of the position, the time-held does not have a singular meaning in the positions API.

@jblewdv I'm going to close this issue for now, as we'll track the upstream issue in the API.
