    Hello,

    Is there a way to control your position on a given symbol using excel API instead of :
    - Requesting the quantity filled in an order with the order id
    - Requesting all the executions and find the symbol you are looking for
    - Requesting all the portfolio and find the symbol you are looking for
    ?

    I am currently using the ids, but it would be simpler to control my global position on one particular instrument especially when I have a lot of resting orders in fast market conditions.

    Thanks a lot.:)
