Per-trade stop losses protect individual positions. An automatic account-level stop loss protects your entire trading day. TradeGuard monitors your F&O account every 5 seconds and halts all trading the moment a rule is breached — no action needed from you.
Every experienced F&O trader knows they should use stop losses. Most do — at the start of the day. The problem is what happens after the first loss. Under pressure, stop losses get widened. Or the trader adds a new position "to recover". Or the stop loss is placed but mentally overridden when price gets close.
The result: a ₹5,000 planned loss turns into ₹25,000 of actual damage across six trades. SEBI data confirms this pattern — 91% of F&O traders lose money, and most losses are concentrated on a handful of catastrophic days, not across hundreds of small ones.
Applies to one trade. Exits when that instrument hits a price level. Does nothing to prevent you from opening a new position immediately after. Does nothing when you have 8 positions open simultaneously and your overall account is bleeding. Requires you to place it correctly every single time.
Applies to your entire trading account for the day. Triggers when total daily losses breach your limit — regardless of how many positions are open, regardless of which instruments. Cannot be bypassed by opening new positions (TradeGuard's bypass monitor re-fires within 30 seconds). Set once at the start of the day, not on every trade.
Halt everything when total losses for the day reach your preset amount.
Stop trading once you hit your daily target — protect realized gains.
Hard order count cap — directly prevents overtrading driven by boredom or revenge.
Auto-exit all positions at a set time — works great for expiry day management.
Automatically skip specific weekdays — weekly expiry Thursdays, monthly expiry Fridays.
Block trading on Budget, RBI days, election results — set in advance when thinking clearly.
Works with Dhan, Upstox and Zerodha. 4-day free trial — no card required.
