Is it possible to "tag" or otherwise persist my own metadata along with a trade transaction? I think QC prohibits me from writing to my own data files. My concern is for the case where I'm running a single strategy but have mutliple positions open (say it's an earnings play), and the server/algorithm crashes and it needs to reboot, I want to recover additional meta data I might have been using inside the algorithm. Or, is it expected that anytime an algorithm starts up if there are open positions that it needs to be able to re-calculate any pre-existing metadata that might have been associated with any of those trades?
Thanks

Hi,
When you create your Order (whether it be a MarketOrder, LimitOrder, etc.), you can append a tag which will be stored and sent to the broker. You can then retrieve this tag for each open order upon restarting the algo.
