I can't figure out for the life of me how to set a trailing stop. Let's say I'm long 5 contracts and I want to set a trailing stop 12 ticks below the current price. I set the drop-down to trailing stop, enter the number of ticks I want in the edit box and left click on the cell 12 ticks below current price in the sell column on the DOM. Instead of being a trailing stop it immediately closes the trade.

I've tried every order type that had the word stop in it to no avail.

You need to setup the Trailing Stop as an Attached Order, not as an order in and of itself. Refer to the following:
