Basically you need to write a DLL for TradeStation, and in that DLL you
handle the communication between TS and IB. IB has APIs for C++, Java,
and Visual Basic (for Excel).

Find some material on writing DLLs. Download all the API material from
IB and study it, especially the Excel spreadsheets if you use VB.
One alternative (without resorting to DLLs) is kludgy but it should
work. Have TS output its most recent signal to a file. Your VB
program would poll this file for changes every 5 seconds or so, and
when it detects a change, it either sends the order, or puts up a
dialog box for you to confirm the order.
