ticks to BE offset = 3
Trigger limit offset = 8

It should be fine, just keep in mind that you mention that it is not working at 4 ticks, but you have an 8 tick trigger. So the move to break even will not occur until the price has moved 8 ticks into profit and then it will be 3 ticks offset from the original entry price.

But it should be working as stated above. Have you tried this in simulation mode? Find a place where the prices are moving in profit for you for at least 8 ticks (more is better just to ensure you have enough time to set everything up) and then run the replay and put on an order and make sure the move occurs as you have it setup.
