what do you mean by "If you only use a spreadsheet formula, you don't have a stop in the market"? You could place a stop in the market with a spreadsheet formula at the time of a spreadsheet entry, using a price in J23/J25 and "S" in J72/J74, triggered by a formula in L3/N3, but now it becomes complex to program a trailing stop exit using the same L3/N3 cells. If you don't place a stop using this method, or you don't use Attached Orders, you don't have any stop in the market. If you don't use Attached Orders with a spreadsheet entry, you won't have a stop in the market that can be moved programmatically.
