Pine Script Strategy - How to set a simultaneous STOP exit for 100% and TAKE exit for only 50%?

Question

I am entering a trade...

if (enterLong and strategy.position_size == 0)
    strategy.entry("Long", true)

This works as expected and enters when I want it to. But from here I would like to have a couple different exits:

• If hit the INITIAL STOP -> Get out of the trade 100%
• If hit the FIRST TAKE -> Get 50% out of the trade, move the STOP to break even, and move the SECOND TAKE to new condition

Currently, I have a sort of working version of this...

if (strategy.position_size > 0 and strategy.position_size == initial_size)
    strategy.exit("LT1", limit=longTakePrice, qty_percent=50)
    strategy.close("Long", when=low<longStopPrice)
else
    if (strategy.position_size > 0 and strategy.position_size < initial_size)
        strategy.exit("LS2", stop=entryPrice)
        strategy.close("Long", when = takeCondition)

This mostly works, except the close() functions don't trigger until the next candle (instead of when the condition is met), and usually has significant (unrealistic) slippage.

I've tried the following...

if (strategy.position_size > 0 and strategy.position_size == initial_size)
    strategy.exit("LT1", limit=longTakePrice, qty_percent=50)
    strategy.exit("LS1", stop=longStopPrice)

But this doesn't work. Instead, when LS1 is hit, it only sells 50% of the position. Swapping the order of the statements doesn't work either.

Edit 1:

It makes no difference to add qty_percent=100 to the stop exit.

Answer 1

try this one:

if (strategy.position_size > 0 and strategy.position_size == initial_size)
    strategy.exit("LT1", limit=longTakePrice, stop=longStopPrice, qty_percent=50)
    strategy.exit("LS1", stop=longStopPrice)
