You would need to use the Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language which uses C++, to develop an interface to your Excel trading system. Refer to:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

And then once you get a trade signal from your system, you could then submit an order using the ACSIL trading functions:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

And then you can use the trailing stop functionality in Sierra Chart. All of that is documented on the page linked above.

There is currently not a way to programmatically fill in Sierra Chart spreadsheets.
