I'm newer and looking for which type of order to use in this scenario. There are so many and ive read the descritions but must be missing it. I want to for example short a mirco, set a stop 2 points above and a profit target of 4 points below for example all in one shot automatically when I hit the sell button, the opposite of course for buying, thanks for leading in the right direction, im sure i just missed it somewhere in the manual. Thanks.

What you are asking for is a simple Bracket order (order with Attached Orders).

Refer to the following example which gives the information you are looking for. It doesn't matter if it is Long or Short, the Target and Stop will get placed properly:
Attached Orders: Simple Bracket Example

Also, be aware of Simulation mode where you can try these orders and see how they work:
