As a suggestion.....
Ideally for implementation in the real world (as opposed to within TB - a different story) use a broker that
a....allows you to trade the approrpiate instruments
b...since you know vba - uses an API and you can link via excel to keep track of everything and send in stops via that. (Interactive brokers has this - I have only used it to look at it but it is fairly straightforward.)
c...or ensure the broker has a great portfolio system to let you track directly in their systems, positions, stops etc.
d.....dont get caught with MFGlobal --- doh too late.
