Trailing stop

I daytrade YM and I place an initial stop loss of 12 ticks. When the price goes to my favour 10 ticks I move my stop to breakeven with 1 tick BE Level Offset. Until this point I have programmed without problem with an Stop order and "Move to Breakeven for Stop" option. After this step I want my stop to trail the price at a distance of 12 ticks. This is the step I don't know to programm. Could you help me?

Yes. You will want to use a Triggered Trailing Stop:

It does not sound as though you need to use the Move to Breakeven settings, however you can. Refer to the attached image for the configuration you need.
