I want to exit a certain positions when certain conditions are met. My conditions are following:

1. TP1 – When price passes a calculated %. This is not a static value, but for simplicity, let’s make this 5%.
2. TP2 – Same as TP1 but when it passes 10%.
3. SL – When price dips below certain %.
4. SL to BE – When price passes a certain threshold e.g. 3%.

Now I tried everything I guess. strategy.exit() and strategy.close() and their combinations and I always face a problem, where one thing cancels or ignores another and it’s just a hell of a mess to handle.

CASE1: Using strategy.close(), it never triggers TP2; TP1 and SL work fine.

Code for case1:

// TP1 and SL BE
if (tp1_cond and not tp1_taken) //and not tp1_taken)
    strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp1perc, comment="TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
    //strategy.exit("TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp1perc) // one exit order somehow cancels another, despite different IDs
    //strategy.exit("SL BE "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, qty_percent = 100-tp1perc, stop=entryPrice) // TODO: Figure out why this is decreasing strategy performance - smth to do with one order canceling another I guess
    array.set(tp1_taken_arr, tp1_index, true)

// TP2
if (tp2_cond and not tp2_taken)
    strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp2perc, comment="TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
    //strategy.exit("TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp2perc)
    array.set(tp2_taken_arr, tp2_index, true)
    
// Stop-loss condition
if (stopLossCond)
    strategy.close(tradeId, comment="SL: "+str.tostring(tradeId), immediately = true)
    //strategy.exit("SL", from_entry = tradeId, stop = entryPrice)

CASE2: If I switch to using strategy.exit(), only POP – condition #4 and SL – condition #3 work.

Code for case2:

// TP1 and SL BE
if (tp1_cond and not tp1_taken) //and not tp1_taken)
    //strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp1perc, comment="TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
    strategy.exit("TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp1perc) // one exit order somehow cancels another, despite different IDs
    //strategy.exit("SL BE "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, qty_percent = 100-tp1perc, stop=entryPrice) // TODO: Figure out why this is decreasing strategy performance - smth to do with one order canceling another I guess
    array.set(tp1_taken_arr, tp1_index, true)

// TP2
if (tp2_cond and not tp2_taken)
    //strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp2perc, comment="TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
    strategy.exit("TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp2perc)
    array.set(tp2_taken_arr, tp2_index, true)
    
// Stop-loss condition
if (stopLossCond)
    //strategy.close(tradeId, comment="SL: "+str.tostring(tradeId), immediately = true)
    strategy.exit("SL", from_entry = tradeId, stop = entryPrice)
    
// Check if price has popped by the break-even threshold and move stop loss to break-even - increased peformance of the strategy and decreased the drawdown - if set specifically at 3%, needs some experimenting
if (currentProfit >= slBeThreshold)
    strategy.exit("POP - Move to BE: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, stop=entryPrice)

CASE3: If I comment out the condition #4 and use strategy.exit() all 3 things work TP1, TP2 and SL work fine.

Code for case3 (same as case 2, with added condition for #4):

// TP1 and SL BE
    if (tp1_cond and not tp1_taken) //and not tp1_taken)
        //strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp1perc, comment="TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
        strategy.exit("TP1: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp1perc) // one exit order somehow cancels another, despite different IDs
        //strategy.exit("SL BE "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, qty_percent = 100-tp1perc, stop=entryPrice) // TODO: Figure out why this is decreasing strategy performance - smth to do with one order canceling another I guess
        array.set(tp1_taken_arr, tp1_index, true)

// TP2
if (tp2_cond and not tp2_taken)
    //strategy.close(tradeId, qty_percent = tp2perc, comment="TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId)) 
    strategy.exit("TP2: "+str.tostring(tradeId), from_entry=tradeId, profit = 1,  qty_percent = tp2perc)
    array.set(tp2_taken_arr, tp2_index, true)
    
// Stop-loss condition
if (stopLossCond)
    //strategy.close(tradeId, comment="SL: "+str.tostring(tradeId), immediately = true)
    strategy.exit("SL", from_entry = tradeId, stop = entryPrice)
