Automation Order Placement Tradestation

["mbaum" <mbaum@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to enter multiple orders from excel 2007 to Tradestation(Version
8.3 build 1419) or other order entry program. I also have an exit strategy
that I want to control the trade after the order is placed. 
My excel sheet would have entry price, stop, % trailing stop, % profit stop,
breakeven stop, and other exit strategies. If my entry price is triggered,
excel would place a buy order and then the exit strategies would take over
the trade.

1. Can this be done efficiently in tradestation? 
2. Does excel have to place the orders into radarscreen and then radarscreen
uses the exit strategies to control the trade?
3. I want to stay with tradestation because I use radarscreen extensively,
but what other order entry platforms could do this with excel? I could still
use Tradestation but enter orders via another order entry program. 
4. Who would be a good source of programming this for me? I know there is a
list of 3rd party programmers for Tradestation, but I would like to find
someone who has done this before.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
