Initiative macro as a generic ability - What did I do wrong?

This is what I have in my ability to try to get the tracking initiative list that is explained @ <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Inline_Dice" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Dice_Reference#Inline_Dice</a>... /roll [[1d20+2&{tracker}]] Initiative However it seems to be broken, in that it rolls fine in the chat box and produces the resulting roll with the [[ ]] brackets removing the excess, but it does not give me any sort of tracking list anywhere on the page. I have used 2 characters to see if that was needed to prompt the list, and nothing. Any help please? For soem reason I was expecting a pop-up on the map near the character locations. Am I just looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

Oh I also tried the /roll [[1d20+2]]&{tracker} and /roll [[1d20+2]] & {tracker}. I should also note on the above site link this is the only roll that has no option to click and trial-roll the macro that is written. Perhaps this is a macro not scripted properly yet into the app?

You do not need to combine the /roll command with the [[inline roll]] syntax. One or the other is fine. I believe you need to add a space before the ampersand: [[1d20+2 &{tracker}]] or /roll 1d20+2 &{tracker} Having a trial-roll box on the Dice Reference page wouldn't do much for &{tracker} even if it worked, since there is no initiative window to roll into. =)
I'll give it a go, thanks for the prompt response.
Where does the tracked list appear? I still see nothing even after rolling 4 character initiatives like this.

Alan, for the tracker dice metric to work, you need to have a token selected. That token will appear in the Turn Tracker .
YES! Thank you! Apparently I had it right and was clicking the tokens as my init. abilities are set on each token with which they correspond and appear in that token's action bar. Just couldn't find the list. Thanks!
