Adjust stop after x ticks gained

[billworld]

Is it possible to set up an order management strategy for an ES contract as follows:

---------
Initial TP = 7 ticks; Initial SL = 7 ticks
Upon an unrealized gain of 2 ticks, move the SL to 4 ticks
---------

If so, what are the steps?

Thanks

Bill

Excellent. I saw the breakeven option and was wondering if it might be cajoled into doing what I want. I wasn't sure as I'm not actually setting a breakeven stop. Anyway, I very much appreciate the quick response. I'll give this a go.

Is it not possible to save custom ATM settings and then reload them? I'm not seeing how to do this.

Sorry. I just figured it out. No worries.
