Multiple Automatic Batch Sequential Orders

Is there a way to create batch sequential orders?

For instance, say I'm trying to buy 20 future contracts but instead of 1) placing a single contract order twenty different times manually or 2) placing one order for 20 contracts, is there a way instead to do 3) placing a trade with sequential batch already previously set that would have say 5 single contract orders, 2 two contract orders, 1 four contract order, 1 seven contract order equaling 20 contracts?

So, basically a functionality where I could create a batch that I could use each time that would split out 20 contracts to some pre-specified amount that could send out multiple different orders at once like no. 3 above, rather than no. 1 or 2? Please let me know if this doesn't make sense and if more information is needed, thank you.

This can be done, but you would have to create a custom study to do it. Refer to the following:

This is certainly possible to do using ACSIL:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

And then you can trigger the action of sending the orders using one of the methods documented here:
