Can You Send Multiple Limit Orders at Once in TradersPost?

TradersPost does not currently support batch limit orders, requiring each order to be sent as a separate request. Traders should create multiple alerts or space out orders to avoid broker rate limits, with future updates expected to improve multi-order execution.
