    My broker doesn't have trailing stops. So I am looking for a software/app that alerts me of symbols with a trailing stop I set on my own. (Ignore previous comment.)

    write your own from the broker api.

    I don't know how to write code and I doubt they can be integrated on my broker api. (If they even have such a thing.) I use tradezero and their platform is not advance.

    The only half-ass solution I can come up with is to just buy 1 share on my IBKR broker and set a trailing stop that alerts me so I can take action on my main broker.

    IBKR does alerts by sms or email but I do no think they are trailing. You do not have to buy a stock to set the alerts up.

    Yes, I think you've to own shares in order for a trailing stop loss alert. Regular alerts at certain price I can just do that on tradezero.
