On the attachment you sent is it possible to have the stop being moved to -6 from -12 is not moved unless I get the first target filled? I was doing some sim and the price went up 6 ticks never filled my target but the stop still moved.

Refer to the documentation here for Move to Breakeven for Stop:
Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop

You need to change the Type to OCO Group Triggered.
