AmiBroker - DDE real time feed

I'm fairly new to trading (a years experience) and wanting to setup a smooth system that automates as much as possible but still lets me execute the trades. I've got an idea for it and hoping to get some feedback on it and maybe bounce some ideas.

Main goals:

A market scanner which alerts me of stocks and forex markets that have buy or sell signals (probably mostly based on MA crossovers)
A trade entry system which allows me to set my Entry, Stop Loss and Target all at once. Ideally be able to set scaled orders for the Entry as well. Also can ideally set the SL to trigger only on a candle close (of a chosen time frame).
Executed trades are sent automatically to my trade diary.
Overview of portfolio and statistics on my trades.

My plan to create this system is using Excel and VBA connected to the Interactive Brokers exchange. I think it would be possible to do everything I want but I've also heard bad things about the DDE API and this type of excel setup being unreliable. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

And does anyone have any alternate suggestions as to software that would allow me to create this setup? I have programming experience but haven't really a clue when it comes to UI setup so I'm hoping to avoid that learning curve if possible.

Are there any subreddits that intersect programming and Forex or even structured finance?
