Angel One Secure Exit is locked inside Angel One. If you want a kill switch that works across multiple brokers — with time rules, max trades, and a bypass-proof monitor — TradeGuard is the alternative.
Angel One recently launched Secure Exit — a built-in feature that lets you set a total profit or loss trigger for your intraday and F&O positions. It's a good start. But it has real limitations that leave many traders exposed.
TradeGuard was built specifically for Indian F&O traders who want deeper control — more rule types, multi-broker support, and a bypass-proof enforcement layer that Angel One Secure Exit doesn't offer.

No max trades rule. Secure Exit only fires when a P&L threshold is hit. It cannot stop you after your 15th trade of the day — one of the most common overtrading patterns. TradeGuard's max trades rule fires a kill switch the moment your daily trade count crosses your limit.
No time-based stops. If you know you trade badly after 2 PM, Secure Exit can't help you. TradeGuard lets you set an automatic stop at any time — 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM, whenever your discipline typically breaks down.
Locked to Angel One. If you ever move to Dhan or Zerodha — or trade on multiple brokers — Secure Exit disappears. TradeGuard works across brokers. Your rules travel with you.
No bypass protection. If Secure Exit fires and you manually re-open positions in the Angel One app, nothing stops you. TradeGuard runs a re-fire monitor every 30 seconds — new positions get squared off again.
Auto-stop when cumulative daily losses cross your threshold. ₹2,000, ₹5,000 — any amount.
Stop trading when you're up on the day. Protect your good days from a bad final session.
The most direct fix for overtrading. Hard cap on your daily order count.
Auto-square off all positions and disable trading at any time you choose.
Block trading every Thursday (expiry), every Monday, or any weekly pattern.
Pre-lock RBI policy dates, Union Budget, election results — when you're thinking clearly.
