We have looked into the Prior Position Quantity field. What this field indicates is the Position Quantity right before a new order fill is processed. If an order fills with multiple fills, then this field will be updated for each of those fills. So it may not be exactly what you are looking for.

Prior Position Quantity is calculated using the available order fill data in the Trade >> Trade Activity Log >> Trade Activity tab for the symbol. In Global Settings >> General Trade Settings, the Number of Days to Save in Trade Activity Log controls how many days of data are saved in the log. You may need to adjust that to meet your requirements.

For help with understanding trading activity and any problems that arise with that, use the Trade Activity Log >> Trade Activity tab:

It also will tell you the source of all orders including which automated trading system sent them.
