# Daily Symbol Limit Error
## Daily Symbol Limit Error
You will receive an error if a bot has more than 10 symbols, regardless of whether those symbols are referenced in a scanner, monitor, or event [automation](https://optionalpha.com/help/automation-basics).
So, whether opening new positions, analyzing conditions, monitoring existing positions, or using a symbol as a custom input, the bot has a maximum allowance of 10 ticker symbols.
If you have more than 10 symbols, an error will generate, the automation will stop, and you'll receive a notification that the bot has exceeded its symbol limit. This safeguard upholds the stability of the platform for all users.
{% hint style="info" %}
The bot references symbols at the beginning of the trading day. If you have 10 symbols assigned to a bot when the market opens, you must wait until after hours to change symbols to avoid the error. You can always add and replace symbols until you reach the limit.
