1. OK. 2. Ok. 3. No. When you create an order using the Spreadsheet, it can only create a standard Stop and Limit (Target). You can not do a Trailing Stop directly from the Spreadsheet. If you want to open a posiition from the Spreadsheet and have a Trailing Stop, then you need to NOT enter any Stop Offset or Target Offset in the Spreadsheet. In this case, the system will then look to get the Attached Orders from the Trade Window (the Trade Window does need to be setup to have the proper Attached Orders and the option for "Use Attached Orders" enabled). 4. Yes, this will occur. 5. As specified in #3 above, you would have to setup the Trade Window as you want it and have the Target and Stop offsets (J80/J81) in the spreadsheet blank. There is no interface to change the Stop parameters of the Trade Window through ACSIL. If you were going to go down that path, you are best served to change your trading process from the Spreadsheet to ACSIL, so you can have complete control over what you want to do. The one item we can point you to that might help with what you want to do is that you can set a "Trade Window Configuration" in the Spreadsheet study (cell J112). You can then setup multiple configurations for the approximate offsets you want and then select the configuration you want in the Spreadsheet.
