Description
Right now this change isn't available at the client only level so I want to request that on the server side, order info will include the order direction. I know this information is available for the stock positions but this change is very important for the order side for someone like me who runs 20 different portfolios and does thousands of stock transactions. Please keep me updated!
*EDIT: This change would be for the Alpaca Trading API and this would mostly likely affect the API only.
