Schema: OptionPositionRecordV5 (ID: 4805)

OptionPositionRecords are live risk records that contain start-of-day positions and all subsequent executions, including executions reported as done away.

These records are published by a CoreRiskServer and represent the position and risk markup detail for a single option series.

New records are published immediately when a position changes and about once per minute if no position has changed.

Note that all records for a single underlier are published simultaneously and records for the same chain should have consistent marks.
