Bulk order

Bulk order uses create_bulk method to send multiple orders within one request. Also, bulk orders can be used to send different order types with one request. We need to specify parsing order of orders inside the bulk order.

Example of the messages

Request:

[1,42,"create_bulk",[[order_1_request], [order_2_request], [order_3_request], [order_4_request]]

Response:

[2,42,"create_bulk",[[order_1_response], [order_2_response], [order_3_response], [order_4_response]]
