The part of this that we are not fully understanding is what exactly you mean by "Automatically".

To start with, you can enter a "Stop-Limit" or a "Trailing Stop-Limit" whenever you want and have it setup so that the Stop is at a price of 95 and the Limit offset is set to 1 point above. Refer to the following:
Order Types: Stop-Limit

Order Types: Trailing Stop-Limit

Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Set >> Stop-Limit Order Limit Offset >> Primary Orders

But to have this order put on automatically when the price gets to a certain point would require that you use the Spreadsheet System for Trading (which will only allow you to enter a Stop-Limit, not a Trailing Stop-Limit) or a custom study. Refer to the following:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading
