Is it possible to move my stop loss after a profit target is filled? For example if I have 2 contracts going long with 1 target at 10 ticks and 1 at 25, when the first one hits it's target, move the stop loss to break even - 2 ticks.

I trade on the ES so I want my target to be executed before moving the stop loss.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
