Is it possible to change (or add) stop strategies while in a trade? That is, suppose you enter with a stop like (4,1,12), and the price goes rapidly "right", but with wide swings... is there a way to change it, for example, to (6,2,something) after the profit is already past 12 ticks?

- You can modify the price of any existing stop
- You can modify auto trail or breakeven settings mid trade as well (see Help-->Guide AutoTrail section for examples)

The best I can do is to right-click on the stop, getting the dialog box with Auto Breakeven, AutoTrail, AutoBreakeven Properties, AutoTrail Properties, and then click on the AT properties. Having played with that some, it appears that you can't change the properties effectively unless you first turn AutoTrail OFF, then change the properties, then turn AutoTrail back ON.

Is that what you're talking about?

Is it possible to change the AutoTrail properties in NinjaScripts? If so, how about an example?

Yes, that is what I am referring to. You can not automate order execution via NinjaScript in the current release. NT6 due out in beta late July will provide complete control forautomated trading scripts.
