Two questions about: GET_POSITIONS & PLACE_ORDER   Message List

How to check the quantity filled for stocks ?

Hi
I wave a working strategy for trading US Stocks and wish to use TWSlink
to connect to IB.
I cannot tell which of your functions I should use to check that an
order has been filled, or part-filled.
e.g. I place a Buy order for 500 AAPL.
Before I place the Stop-loss and Profit Target I need to know whether
the Buy order was filled, or if it was part-filled, and then for how
many shares.
Otherwise the position size of the stop-loss and target orders could be
incorrect.

Your advice on this would be most welcome.
