What is the use of Order.TrackingIndicator

[Shai Samuel]

I would like to build a PNL indicator that draws on a separate panel the accumulated and unrealized PNL, and the current trade data.

1. I am wondering what the use of Order.TrackingIndicator, is that were I need to plug that indicator into?
2. What is the use of UserData?

Hello Shai Samuel,

Those are likely used for some internal purpose, those are not a currently documented properties so we wouldn't be able to say what the exact purpose for those may be. If you are trying to track manual trades you can use the addon framework Account object to find an account and then either subscribe to its order/execution events or find orders in the order collection.

You can find the account values like realized or unrealized pnl using Account.Get:
