Unless you really are interested in exploring C/C#/VB/Java/Python (it'll never be a waste to at least explore some of these languages) you do not need to become a programmer in such languages in order to achieve the executon triggers you describe (though not if there is a very high frequency of triggers).
As a previous poster says, a metalanguage like WL could be just what you need (check out WL & Quaccess) or you could use excel with the api of your broker platform to run an autotrader etc. This will still require some learning, but you'll achieve results much more quickly this way.
There is always QuantStudio/QuantDeveloper, but you'll need to know C# to get the most from that. And it is TOO expensive compared to WealthLab and other such better featured high-level platforms with huge helpful user communities and rich forums.
