Get Position Instructions

PositionGetPositionInstructionsResponse v1().positions().getPositionInstructions(, )

GET/v1/accounts/{account_id}/positions/instructions

Returns the current lifecycle state of the account’s position instructions. Optionally filter by a specific contract.

Note: instructions that fail pre-acceptance validation on POST — duplicates, DO_NOT_EXERCISE / CONTRARY_EXERCISE on a non-expiry day, insufficient position, or an unresolvable instrument — are rejected (with status = REJECTED and a rejection_reason) without being persisted, so they surface only in the POST response and never appear in this list.

One of the following:

EXERCISE("EXERCISE")

DO_NOT_EXERCISE("DO_NOT_EXERCISE")

CONTRARY_EXERCISE("CONTRARY_EXERCISE")

String instrumentId

Identifier of the options contract this instruction acts on.

Number of contracts included in the instruction.

PositionInstructionStatus status

Current lifecycle status.

One of the following:

SENT("SENT")

CANCELLED("CANCELLED")

CANCEL_FAILED("CANCEL_FAILED")

UNKNOWN("UNKNOWN")

String symbol

Options symbol (OSI) for display.

Optional<String> acceptedQuantity

Number of contracts accepted by the clearing venue. Populated once the instruction reaches ACCEPTED. When a null/undefined value is observed, it indicates that there is no available data.

Optional<LocalDateTime> createdAt

formatdate-time

Optional<String> rejectionReason

Human-readable explanation populated on any non-success terminal status — REJECTED or CANCEL_FAILED. On a 207 Multi-Status batch submit the top-level error field summarizes the batch; per-row detail continues to live here. When a null/undefined value is observed, it indicates it does not apply.

Optional<LocalDateTime> updatedAt

When the instruction’s lifecycle state last changed. When a null/undefined value is observed, it indicates that there is no available data.
