I want to be able to create a loop that will place X number of orders without having to enter each one separately.

 
Code

int x = 0;
double y = 0;
int z = 1;
while (x < 10)
{
_long1+x = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, _longFirstPrice-.05-y, "L"+z);
x = x + 1;
y = y + .05;
z = z + 1;
}

Yes, but your EnterLongLimit() syntax is false, in this case it's more:
 
Code
                            
EnterLongLimit(1, _longFirstPrice-.05-y, "L"+z.ToString()) 

and you should use for() loops instead of while().

What about the very beginning? Is there a workaround to enable a variable in the IOrder object? That seems to be the most troublesome part.

 
Code
_long1+x = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, _longFirstPrice-.05-y, "L"+z);

Create an array and then increment it during the loop to store the IOrder.
