Hello manitshah915,

You could use an indicator for that purpose along with the addon framework. There is a sample of the code needed to find an account in the following link. You would need to locate an account and save it to a variable, then from the indicators OnBarUpdate method you could continuously check the account values like the PnL.

Mainly just these line from the sample:

private Account myAccount;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
   if (State == State.Configure)
   {​
      lock (Account.All)
         myAccount = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == "Sim101");​
    }
}

To find values you could then use myAccount.Get() method:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
   if (myAccount.Get(AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss, Currency.UsDollar) > 300)
   {
       // Do something;
    }
}
