Trailing stop set up

I am trying to set up a trade template for a trade with 2 contracts and a trailing stop when price heads in direction of trade.

I have already set up a template with target price and stop price for contract 1 and 2 but cannot figure out setting up trailing stop when price moves in the trade direction and reaches a target level.

I would like the trailing stop to begin for contract 1 And 2 when trade price reaches 12 ticks "trade in the money". Trailing stop can be a market order when retrace price is touched to initiate closing order.

Can you kindly show me how to do this.

Thanking you in advance,
Hal
