Automated Trading- Multiple Symbols to a Strategy

Hey guys! This is my first question or post of any kind on this forum, so thank you in advance for bearing with me

I've written a couple scans that yield results which work out pretty well in certain market conditions, and up until now I've had to make the trades manually. This is kind of a pain, because a lot of these trades begin playing out pretty quickly after the opening bell, and sometimes my scans will yield upwards of 50 symbols, but I'm only able to execute trades on like 2 or 3 of them, because by the time I'm at the fourth trade, the market has been open for like five minutes.

I want to find a way to execute a batch of options trades at exactly 9:30. Also, on any given morning, every one of those trades is the same type of simple option- either a call or a put. On any given day, it's either one or the other, never a combo- if that's at all helpful.

Basically I want to buy a bunch of options at 9:30, or at least all within 2 minutes of 9:30. NinjaTrader does complex automated trading but doesn't do options. TradeStation does automated options trading but I heard it only does one symbol to a strategy, although I'd imagine there's a way around this.

Any ideas or input is very appreciated.
