Something simple like
declare @counter int, @AddStr varchar(8)

set @counter = 10000000

while @counter >5
  begin
   insert into Table1 values ('First' + @AddStr, ...)
   insert into tabl2 values (@@IDENTITY, Here I want a random Symbol, Random Qty and an average price for that Symbol)
  set @counter = @counter - 1
end
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
