How to Stop Overtrading on Dhan:
4 Rules That Work

🛑

Rule 1: Daily Loss Limit

Set 1-2% of capital as your maximum daily loss. On ₹3 lakh capital: ₹3,000-₹6,000. When hit — stop completely. No exceptions.

📊

Rule 2: Max 4 Trades

Hard limit of 4 completed trades per day. After 4 trades, the session is over regardless of P&L. Forces you to take only your best setups.

Rule 3: Time Kill on Thursday

No new positions on Dhan after 12:00 PM on expiry Thursdays. Weekly expiry afternoon session is where most overtrading damage occurs.

🎯

Rule 4: Profit Target Lock

When you hit your daily profit target, stop. Continuing after a good run is one of the most reliable ways to give back profits through overtrading.

TradeGuard automates all four of these rules simultaneously. Currently live for Dhan users.
