BankNifty is India's most volatile index — and the one that destroys the most retail accounts. Automated risk management is not optional for BankNifty traders. It is survival.
Get Started →BankNifty F&O carries higher volatility than Nifty — a single unexpected move can wipe a session's gains in minutes. The minimum risk management setup: a 1–2% daily loss limit, no more than 5–7 trades per day, and a kill switch that fires automatically when either limit is hit. TradeGuard automates all three.
BankNifty is the most actively traded options index in India and globally one of the highest volume derivatives contracts. Its volatility makes it attractive for large intraday moves — and catastrophic for unprepared traders.

Two expiry days per week. Set time-based kill rules for both Wednesday BankNifty expiry and Thursday Nifty expiry.
