Nifty options are the most traded instruments in Indian markets — and among the most dangerous for retail traders. Automated risk management is not optional for serious Nifty option traders.

The following risk management framework is specifically adapted for Nifty options trading in Indian markets:
Set a maximum daily loss of 1-2% of your trading capital. On a ₹5 lakh account, this means ₹5,000–₹10,000 daily loss limit.
Most profitable Nifty option traders take 2-4 high-quality setups per day. More trades means more brokerage and worse decision quality.
On weekly expiry Thursdays, no new positions after 12 PM. Premium decay in the final 90 minutes is extreme and unpredictable.
When you hit your daily profit target, stop. Most Nifty traders give back morning profits by continuing to trade into afternoon sessions.
TradeGuard automates all four of these rules simultaneously. You set them before 9:15 AM when you are calm and rational. The server enforces them throughout the trading session.
