Request for features, for live trading

Feature Request

Hi,

I started live trading and found some things that are missing or would be good additions

  1. I don't see the portfolio.position "purchase date" anywhere in the API. It would be nice to track how long a stock
    has been held. Ideally this field should come from the broker (In case the algo needs to be restarted).

  2. It would be nice if the live trading "dashboard" had a button(s) which could be used to call a special function in the
    algo. To do things like perform an orderly shutdown or resubmit orders for the day or ????

  3. Ability to write one small file to be used for restarting or viewing the status. Limit the size to 1kb due to the concern of downloading the data.
