Can the offsets be driven off the ask or bid prices rather than the last traded price?

For example: Say you sold a contract of CL at 104.00 with a (1) stop at 20 ticks and (2) a trail of 5 ticks (3) triggered after it reaches 103.80 or a 20 tick trigger. I would like the trigger to go off if the Ask (not the Last) price hits 103.80. Is that possible in the current setup?

No. We have found bid and ask data not entirely reliable and it causes problems. We have no plans to support that.
