How to split an order before opening?

Hi All,

Just a quick question. Did some research but could find it it anywhere so far.

Instead of raising a one 5 lot order, how can I order 5 separate one lot orders?

Let say;

Inserted Code
extern double    start_lot=5;

And this ticket opens a sell order with a volume of 5 lots.

Inserted Code
   {
      ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,NormalizeDouble(start_lot,prec),Bid,3,0,0,"",magic,0,Red);
   }

But instead I want it to open five separate 1 lot orders.

Is this possible?

thanks,
mem

Example:

Inserted Code
while(count < 5) {
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,NormalizeDouble(start_lot/5,prec),Bid,3,0,0,"",magic,0,Red);
recount your orders here
}  //---- while

I assumed "recount your orders" was a comment so I put "//--" in front of it. But still getting "Variable not defined" errors for "count"

Yes you must recount your orders where I wrote this comment. The result is "count" which is in the while() function.
