ik you can do it like that if you have it selected I trying to figure out if I just place a regular order for 6 lots could it auto put a stop for 2 points or if I buy 4 lots can you put stop for 3 points I don't want to have to click on a specific oco bracket configuration to do it

There are Trade Configurations that allow you to specify a particular setup. You can setup Control Bar and/or Keyboard shortcuts to change between them. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations

The only way to have the system do what you want in terms of determining the Stop location based on the Quantity would be to create a custom study. Refer to the following:
