# Duplicate Orders Error The Duplicate Orders Error occurs when a resting limit order in your brokerage platform duplicates or contradicts a bot's closing action order for the same position.
Duplicat order rejection
For example, if there is already an order to exit a position, the broker won't accept an additional duplicate order. To avoid the broker rejection error, it is best to allow bots to manage positions. If you prefer to take control of an active position in your brokerage platform, use the [manual override](https://optionalpha.com/help/managing-positions) to prevent the error when the bot attempts to close the position. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
