Automated Risk-Control Software
A software tool that helps traders set and enforce self-defined limits such as daily loss thresholds, profit caps, and maximum number of trades by automating broker-provided controls. No trading advice. No recommendations. Users remain fully in control of all trading decisions.
Planned 4 trades, ended up with 8? That’s real money leaking.
Every extra round trip (buy + sell) costs fees and slippage. Four unplanned trades at ~₹40 each is ₹160 a day — that’s ₹7,040 over a month (22 sessions). KillSwitch enforces your daily limits so you keep that cash.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about KillSwitch.
What is overtrading and how can I prevent it?
Overtrading occurs when traders make too many trades, exceeding their planned limits, often driven by emotions like greed or fear. KillSwitch prevents overtrading by automatically stopping your trading activity when you hit daily trade limits, profit targets, or loss limits. This enforces discipline and protects you from emotional decision-making.
How does KillSwitch help prevent overtrading?
KillSwitch automatically monitors your trading account and stops all trading activities when you reach your configured limits. You can set maximum trades per day, daily profit targets, and daily loss limits. Once any limit is hit, KillSwitch automatically cancels pending orders and closes open positions (if configured), preventing further overtrading.
How does KillSwitch work?
We monitor your live P&L and order counts, then trigger safeguards (cancel/flatten) when your configured limits are reached. Once your limits are hit, our system automatically stops trading activities to prevent overtrading and protect your capital.
Can a trading kill switch help with overtrading?
Yes! A trading kill switch like KillSwitch is specifically designed to prevent overtrading. It automatically stops your trading when you reach predetermined limits, helping you maintain discipline and avoid emotional trading decisions that lead to overtrading.
Does Dhan have a kill switch to prevent overtrading?
While Dhan provides basic controls, KillSwitch offers an advanced automated kill switch specifically designed to prevent overtrading. It automatically monitors your Dhan account and stops trading when you hit your daily limits, profit targets, or loss limits - all without requiring manual intervention.
Does Zerodha have a kill switch for overtrading?
Zerodha offers basic kill switch features, but KillSwitch provides a more comprehensive solution for preventing overtrading. Once Zerodha integration is available, you'll be able to set automated limits that prevent overtrading by automatically stopping trading activities when your configured thresholds are reached.
How do I connect my broker?
All steps are shown in the dashboard connect flow. Just follow the prompts when you link your account. For Dhan, it's a simple one-time setup with API credentials.
Will it cancel my pending orders if targets or limits are hit?
Yes, if you allow cancellation, pending orders are cancelled automatically when your rules trigger. This prevents new trades from executing and stops overtrading in its tracks.
Will it close my open positions?
Yes, if you allow flattening, positions are closed when your configured conditions are met. This ensures you stop trading immediately when limits are reached, effectively preventing overtrading.
Can I set a profit target?
Yes. Setting profit targets is recommended to protect gains and enforce discipline. When your profit target is reached, KillSwitch automatically stops trading to prevent you from overtrading and risking your profits.
What is the best way to stop overtrading?
The best way to stop overtrading is to use an automated trading kill switch like KillSwitch. Set daily trade limits, profit targets, and loss limits upfront. The system will automatically enforce these limits, preventing emotional decisions and overtrading behaviors.
Do I have to log in daily?
It depends on the broker. For Dhan, you don't need to log in daily - just a one-time setup is required. Our servers will monitor your account continuously, so you don't even need to open the website. This means your overtrading protection works 24/7 automatically.
Is my data secure?
We use broker-authorized flows and do not store your credentials. Access is scoped to the permissions you grant. All data is encrypted and stored securely following industry best practices.
Which brokers are supported?
Dhan is live with full kill switch functionality. Zerodha and Upstox are coming soon. All integrations include automatic overtrading protection features.
Can KillSwitch help with trading discipline?

- Increased transaction costs and commissions
- Emotional decision-making instead of following a trading plan
- Larger drawdowns and potential account blowups
- Reduced trading discipline and poor risk management

- Daily Trade Limits: Set a maximum number of trades per day
- Profit Targets: Automatically stop trading when you hit your daily profit goal
- Loss Limits: Stop trading when you reach your maximum daily loss
- Automatic Position Closure: Close all open positions when limits are hit
