Set a hard daily loss limit on your Angel One F&O account. TradeGuard monitors your live P&L and fires an automatic kill switch before one bad session wipes out a week of gains.
Angel One is one of India's largest brokers with over 2 crore clients. Yet like most broker apps, Angel One gives you no automatic daily loss limit that fires a kill switch when you've lost enough for the day. The Secure Exit feature triggers on P&L thresholds, but it doesn't run a persistent monitor that enforces rules through market close.
SEBI's FY25 data shows 91% of retail F&O traders lost money, with the average trader losing ₹1.1 lakh in a single year. The majority of those losses came from a handful of sessions where the trader kept trading after the first loss — chasing recovery, revenge trading, or simply not knowing when to stop.
A daily loss limit enforced automatically is the single most effective protection against this pattern.
Link your Angel One (coming soon), Dhan, Zerodha, or Upstox account to TradeGuard via official API.
Enter the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a single trading day — e.g. ₹5,000 or ₹10,000.
Begin your session before market open. TradeGuard monitors your P&L every 5 seconds via the broker API.
The moment your losses cross the limit, TradeGuard squares off all open positions and prevents new trades for the rest of the day.
Professional traders and risk managers follow a consistent rule: never risk more than 1–3% of capital in a single day. For a ₹5 lakh trading account, that means a daily loss limit of ₹5,000 to ₹15,000.
The right number depends on your strategy and capital. TradeGuard's daily loss limit calculator helps you work out the exact number based on your historical P&L and account size.
Suggested limit: ₹2,000–₹6,000 per day (1–3%)
Suggested limit: ₹5,000–₹15,000 per day (1–3%)
Suggested limit: ₹10,000–₹30,000 per day (1–3%)
Suggested limit: ₹25,000–₹75,000 per day (1–3%)
