You cannot create a new Trade Window but you can use Control Bar buttons to control a custom study.

In general all of what you want to do can be accomplished.

Here is the relevant documentation:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events

Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study (For putting text on the chart)

ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.TradeWindowConfigFileName

Here is the documentation for the Control Bar:
Control Bar


The control bar will become your trade panel. It can be set to be floating. Use one of the available ones to be for your trade panel.


SC just provides little way for customization
the customization is predefined.
not much possibility for coding.

It depends upon what you want to do. What you want to do is very well supported and this is not true in your particular case.
