Which stop order accomplishes the following: I enter long, I want a stop order to be placed Y ticks above entry price after the position is UP X ticks. EX: Once position is up 20 ticks put a stop 9 ticks above breakeven. I would think this is simply a stop: triggered stop but its working in the opposite manner. |

A Triggered Stop will not work, as that is expecting the movement to be against you. You would just need to setup a standard stop and use the Move to Breakeven option, which will allow you to set a particular trigger offset and a breakeven offset.

Yes you would want to use the Move Stop to Breakeven functionality.
