Which setting did you set specifically?

And what is the exact symbol did you set it on in the symbol settings?

That setting applies to ALL symbols. It is not specific to the selected symbol at that time. So you should be limited to a maximum quantity of 5 for all symbols.

Note that that setting does not work in Simulation Mode. We wonder if this was what you were doing.

Refer to the following:
