IB provides spreadsheet samples to fire off orders from Excel. The amount of logic you can handle is less than coding java/python/whatnot but depending on what you are trying to do, it will work.
Just take the sample spreadsheets, modify it and test against papertrader before going live. GL
Edit: Watch out for duplicate orders when a criteria is met. You will need to "remember" order has already been fired off and not try to keep sending it in a loop

I am no longer an IB customer and don't have TWS installed. Google it. It should be in TWS install directory IIRC
You have to install IB API bundle to get those spreadsheets. I think it is not part of base TWS install
