How to fetch floating p/l(current) of a "filled" FIX-Order (either buy/sell)?(by its FIX-ID/order ID)

I asked my FIX provider(Integral) & they said, there's no specific tag for that/not a standard FIX practice, but it can be calculated on my side.(via different methods) Is there any way to calculate floating p/l of a fix-order?(against current market price)

FIX is just the message protocol so the PnL for a filled order (an execution report) on your side by taking the price and volume of the execution report and a reference price when you get the execution report, then calculate your PnL...

So you are asking about what is usually called Unrealized P&L. There are multiple ways to do this. It can be as simple as rupweb points out, but there are some complications, for example when you have previous closed trades, or have multiple open trades at multiple prices. For some detailed information on this, including a formula you can just copy, check out TT's FIX Adapter documentation.
