I've looked around but can't find anything to support this:

I currently have a configuration set to where I click buy/sell and 4 contracts are opened, with a fixed stop limit for each contract.

After 3 of the 4 contracts are closed, the stop on the 4th contract is moved to breakeven. Is there a way to make the stop on the 4th contract convert to a trailing stop once it is moved to breakeven? When the 4th contract is open and the stop is moved to breakeven, I am currently having to manually move it along and would love to have it trail.

Set the Stop to be a Triggered Trail Stop and then set the trigger to be the same as the 3rd Target. You would not need to move the stop to Breakeven, just set it to be trailing by however much you want.

Refer to the following:
Order Types: Triggered Trailing Stop
