Is there a way to customize the keyboard shortcut "Move to Break Even" to "Move to Break Even + 1 Tick" for long position and "Move to Break Even - 1 Tick" for a short position?

Assuming you mean to lock in 1 tick profit in each situation (and not 1 tick less than B/E for short).

You can set the B/E offset in the trade window - Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Set >> Move to BE Offset

That is correct, I want to lock in 1 tick profit for either B/E long and short. For a B/E long position, would this be +1 and for B/E short position, would this be -1? How do I setup these 2 entries?

Also, would this setup work when using the keyboard shortcuts (move to break even key)?

Just set the desired B/E offset amount, no need to set separate values for long or short.

Re keyboard shortcut, yes, just make sure to configure the BE offset in any relevant trade windows.
