The Problem

Why Dhan Traders
Lose Money

Dhan has made F&O trading accessible to millions of Indian retail traders. But accessibility without discipline is dangerous. Most Dhan traders who blow their accounts do not lose because of bad strategy โ€” they lose because of what happens after the first bad trade.

๐Ÿ˜ค

Revenge Trading

One loss leads to a bigger position to "recover." Then a bigger one. Before you know it, a โ‚น2,000 loss becomes โ‚น30,000.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Overtrading

No daily trade limit means 3 trades becomes 15. Each additional trade increases your emotional stake and decreases your clarity.

๐Ÿง 

Emotional Decisions

On a bad day, your brain switches from analytical to emotional mode. No plan survives first contact with a live loss.

โฐ

Expiry Day Panic

Option premiums collapse fast on expiry. Without a time-based kill switch, traders often hold until worthless โ€” or worse, add more.

The Solution

How TradeGuard Works
With Dhan

TradeGuard connects to your Dhan account through Dhan's official API. Every morning before you start trading, you set your rules for the day โ€” maximum loss, profit target, trade limit, kill time. Once you press Start, those rules are locked.

Our server monitors your Dhan account every 5 seconds. The moment any rule is breached, we fire Dhan's kill switch โ€” automatically, instantly, twice for certainty. Your positions are squared off and trading is blocked for the rest of the day.

๐Ÿ›‘

Max Daily Loss

Set โ‚น5,000 limit. Lose โ‚น5,000 โ†’ kill switch fires immediately. Your worst day is now capped.

๐ŸŽฏ

Profit Target Lock

Hit your profit goal โ†’ stop trading. Most traders give back profits by continuing after a great run.

โฐ

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TradeGuard work with Dhan broker?
Yes. TradeGuard is built specifically for Dhan v2 API. It monitors your positions and orders in real-time and fires Dhan's kill switch when your rules are breached.
Is my Dhan account safe with TradeGuard?
TradeGuard only reads your P&L data and fires the kill switch. We cannot place orders, withdraw funds, or modify positions. Your account credentials are encrypted on our server.
Do I need to add TradeGuard's IP to Dhan?
It is recommended to whitelist our server IP (157.245.107.66) in your Dhan Static IP settings for maximum reliability. However, most features work without this step.
What happens when the kill switch fires in Dhan?
Dhan cancels all your pending and open orders, squares off all open positions at market price, and blocks any new order placement for the rest of the trading day.
How much does it cost?
TradeGuard offers a 4-day free trial. After that, plans start at โ‚น599/month. Less than โ‚น20 per trading day โ€” far less than one bad trade.
