Hotkey to move stop order

Is there any hotkey i can enable, so when i see a big order against my position on the dom, i can press that key and my stop order moves automatically, let say 2 ticks behind the current price? So in that way, i can protect myself from a bigger lost or protect what i already gained. I already try with the "move attached stops to price", but that requieres to follow the price with the mouse, and when there is a lot of volatily its a little crazy to follow the price with the mouse. The eyes can be faster and with a hotkey will be amazing, thanks

There is not a way to move the Stop to an offset from current price. The closest available would be to use the "Move to Breakeven" option and use the Offset value to have it moved offset the actual breakeven. Refer to the following:
