India's first automated kill switch for F&O traders. Fires the moment your daily loss limit, profit target, or trade count is breached — no manual action, no second-guessing.
A trading kill switch is an automated circuit breaker that halts all trading when a preset rule is violated. SEBI data shows 91% of F&O traders lose money — the primary cause is emotional overtrading after a losing streak. A kill switch removes emotion from the equation entirely.
TradeGuard connects directly to your broker API. It monitors your live P&L, order count, and time every 5 seconds. The moment a rule fires, it cancels all pending orders and squares off open positions — automatically, without you needing to do anything.
Kill switch fires the instant your P&L hits your loss floor. Stop the bleeding before it becomes catastrophic.
Lock in profits automatically. Stop before you give back gains chasing more.
Cap your daily order count. Prevents the overtrading spiral that kills most retail accounts.
Auto-fire at a specific IST time — essential for expiry day protection (Nifty every Thursday).
Block entire days of the week — every Thursday, every Monday, any pattern.
Block RBI policy days, Budget day, election results — hand-pick your high-risk calendar dates.
Link your Dhan account via API in under 2 minutes. Daily token refresh takes 30 seconds each morning.
Configure your daily loss limit, trade cap, and time rules while calm — before 9:15 AM.
Hit Start. TradeGuard polls your live P&L every 5 seconds via API + WebSocket.
Rule breached → kill switch fires twice for reliability. Orders cancelled, positions squared off. Done.
