You can set a negative offset for the "Move to Breakeven" . But it will not move the Stop further out than where it already exists.

So if you have a Stop that is 20 ticks away and you set the Move to Breakeven Offset to -25, it will not move the stop. But a value of -15 will move the Stop 5 ticks closer to the position.

There are no built-in methods that will do this automatically. You can use the "Trade Management by Study" to have the Stop move to wherever you want, but you would have to manually engage this option when the first target is hit. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops

To fully automate this, you would need a custom study. Refer to the following:
