Details

By default, for non-FA accounts, this returns the current login's account information.

This main version returns a list of objects as returned by the TWS. .reqAccountUpdates sends the request to subscribe or cancel, but returns immediately. This is designed to be used within a larger custom callback routine, where the eventWrapper object passed to processMsg (see also) keeps trace of the portfolio updates in a consistent manner.

twsPortfolioValue extracts into a data.frame commonly used fields from all positions held. There are currently methods for the the default returned object of reqAccountUpdates.
