Initiative macro for 5e sheets

Trying to figure out a macro that i can put as a token action on my character token that i can press when the dm asks for initiative so i don't need to pull up my character sheet. having a bit of issue with it and i was wondering if someone has figured it out?
I'm not actually a 5e gamer and haven't looked at the character sheet myself, but I found  this for you. Also if it's anything like the pathfinder sheet you should be able to just drag and drop the initiative roll button from the sheet to the macro bar...
/w gm  &{template:5eDefault}{{title=Initiative}} {{subheader=Jamelor}} {{subheaderright=Init Bonus: +@{dexterity_mod} }} {{rollname=Initiative}} {{roll=[[1d20 + @{dexterity_mod} + (@{dexterity_mod} /10) &{tracker} ]] }} Replace "{{subheader=Jamelor}}" with your own character name, or just remove it entirely.
Each roll button on every Character Sheet has a hidden Ability that effectively presses it when called (i.e. from a macro). The Abilities that correspond to each roll button for both D&D 5E sheets ( legacy and Shaped ) are documented on the Roll20 Wiki. For both sheets, the name of the Ability in question is "Initiative".
