I am having trouble figuring out how to configure an attached order

This is what I would like to do if you can help me please

1)Buy/Sell 2 MES
2) Initial stop is 4 pts 12 ticks on 2 contracts
3) sell/buy 1 contract at 4 pts / 16 ticks take profit
4) stop on remaining contract moves up to 2 pts / 8 ticks from entry
5) Take profit on remaining is 6 pts /24 ticks

I have read through the documentation and have not been able to get it to work. Your help would be greatly appreciated

This is the way I do it:

Target1 = 4 points (or 16 ticks)
Target2 = 6 points (or 24 ticks)

Stop1 = 4 points (or 16 ticks)
Stop2 = 4 points (or 16 ticks)

BTW, both Stops are regular Stops... Stop2 is not a Trailing Stop.

Then click on Stop2, and at the bottom of the trade window, under "Move to Breakeven for Stop":

Select Step 1
Type: Offset in Ticks Triggered
BE Level Offset: -8
Trigger Offset: 16

So when/if your first contract hits its target of 16 ticks, it will trigger the Stop2 move to -8 ticks below the breakeven point, the BE point being your original entry.
