MGL4 Loop-Code for placing Order

PipsApart = 0; //this value needs to be + 20 for each additional order
Currentbit = Bit + PipsApart;
PriceBuyStop = Currentbid + PipsApart;
SLBuyStop = Currentbid-(StopLoss*Point*FourFiveDigitBrokerCalc);
TPBuyStop = Currentbid+(TakeProfit*Point*FourFiveDigitBrokerCalc);

Hello folks,

I know this must be a dumb question, but I don't know how to approach the solution yet.

I want to place 3 pending orders, all 20 pips apart. I don't want to have the OrderOpen code three times. I know there is a better way, I guess it's called a loop

for (PipsApart = 0; PipsApart <= 40; PipsApart+=20)   {     //this value needs to be + 20 for each additional order
     Currentbit = Bit + PipsApart;
     PriceBuyStop = Currentbid + PipsApart;   
     SLBuyStop = Currentbid-(StopLoss*Point*FourFiveDigitBrokerCalc);
     TPBuyStop = Currentbid+(TakeProfit*Point*FourFiveDigitBrokerCalc);
     OrderSendReliable(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lots,PriceBuyStop,3,SLBuyStop,TPBuyStop,"BBT-PendSellStop",0,expiration,CLR_NONE);
}

int     NumberOfAttempts        = 10;
double  SecondsBetweenAttempts  = 2.5;

for (int i=1; i<=NumberOfAttempts; i++)   {                 // loop for the required number of attempts
  int OrderNum  = OrderSend([color=Blue]<<...parameters...>>[/color]);
  int ErrorNum  = GetLastError();
  if (OrderNum > 0)   break;                                // valid order was created, hence exit loop
  if (ErrorNum [color=Blue]<<...meets whatever condition...>>[/color])  {       // error condition occurred
    Sleep(SecondsBetweenAttempts*1000);                     // wait for specified number of seconds
    RefreshRates();                                         // refresh rates and loop again to re-try
  } else {
    break;                                                  // exit the loop
} }
