Trading Kill Switch: Why You Need One
Automate loss limits, profit targets, and trade caps to prevent emotional overtrading. Why a trading kill switch protects your capital.
What Is a Trading Kill Switch?
A trading kill switch is an automated tool that stops your trading when certain conditions are met—daily loss limit, profit target, or maximum number of trades. Instead of relying on willpower to stop, the system enforces your rules automatically.
KillSwitch is a trading software that plugs into your broker (Dhan, Zerodha). You set limits in the dashboard; when they are hit, we cancel pending orders and can flatten positions. No trading advice—just automated risk control.
Why You Need One
- Prevent overtrading and emotional trades.
- Enforce daily loss limits automatically.
- Lock in profit targets when reached.
- Cap the number of trades per day.
