I'm going to break down what I have done and what I want to accomplish. Maybe it will help some and hopefully someone can direct me in the right direction on what to do to finish this up.

This works to create my cb_peopletraderid from the user ID and I only use it on some of my profile types through PROMA profile manager. I have an Add Profile menu item on my main nav for users with permission to be able to create profiles from the front end and the cb_peopletraderid will be used in place of username. Also these users that are created will be able to login using cb_peopletraderid instead of username. Can I accomplish this with in MySQL field using Output mode:"BOTH" and field Name: "username" to do so? Also standard profile types that use USERNAME to login.
I never used MySQL field so I don't know if it works. But you can't make CB directly use cb_peopletraderid to login. CB can only use username or email so you have to copy the value of cb_peopletraderid assigned to the user to his username. This can be done either after registration, after confirmation, after approval, etc depending on your membership model.
So IMO the process is:
1. User registers
2. User is assigned an ID
3. Set his username to this ID
4. You can tell him that he can login using his ID
You need to decide how you will generate this ID (incremental, random number, etc), when you want the ID generated (registration, confirmation, approval, etc) and where you want to store this value (jos_comprofiler, create a new table, etc).
Note that if you generate & assign the ID on CB Subs plan activation, a plan is active when payment of that plan is received (instant when using credit card/paypal or when admin mark basket as paid for offline payment) regardless if the member is enabled/approved if your membership needs admin approval.
