Connect with your own keyAngel One has no kill switch. Here is how to protect your day anyway
Angel One gives you a stop-loss on a trade. It does not give you a stop-loss on your day. LossGuardian sits alongside your Angel One account, watches your realised and unrealised P&L in real time, and alerts you the moment you hit the limit you set.
Read-only. LossGuardian cannot place, modify or cancel an order in your Angel One account. It warns you, and you act. You log in on Angel One’s own screen, and we never see or store your password.

A short walkthrough of connecting Angel One, then the same steps in writing below.
- 1
Download LossGuardian for Windows, install it and sign in.
- 2
Pick Angel One in LossGuardian and paste your own Angel One API key. It is stored in your computer's secure keychain, never on our servers.
- 3
Log in on Angel One's own screen. Your password goes to Angel One, not to us.
- 4
Set your limits: a rupee figure, a percentage of capital, a trade count, a cutoff time. These are your rules, not our defaults.
- 5
Trade as normal. LossGuardian watches in the background and speaks up only when you cross a line you drew.
The missing guardrail in Angel One
Discipline tools usually only know about the days you remembered to run them, which makes their history useless exactly when you most want to look back honestly. And a trade that executed while the app was closed should not vanish from your record, nor should it fire an alert three hours late.
Daily loss limit
A rupee limit and a percentage of capital, running together. Cross either and the session is stopped.
Revenge trading caught by timing
Re-entering too soon after an exit is what gets flagged, so it is caught even when the trade happens to win.
Consecutive loss cooldown
Hit your streak limit and a countdown holds before the app treats you as clear to re-enter.
Alerts you cannot dismiss
An always-on-top stop, not a toast you can click away while tilted.
What Angel One traders get most out of
Scores days it never watched live
Roughly 80% of discipline stats (limit breaches, execution-window violations, consecutive-loss counts) can be re-derived from your tradebook alone, for sessions the app was never running. Real-time-only stats are marked "not available" rather than guessed at.
Offline trades reconciled cleanly
Trades that executed while LossGuardian was closed are detected and folded into your state and discipline data, without retroactively firing alerts for something you cannot act on any more.
Past performance you can drill into
A local history database, scoped strictly per broker account and rebuildable from the underlying archive, with day-by-day and period trends and an intraday equity drill-down for any past day.
Does Angel One have a kill switch?
No. As of October 2026, Angel One has no kill switch that blocks you from placing orders for the rest of the day. It does have Secure Exit, which is a different tool: you set an overall profit and loss level, and Angel One closes your open positions and cancels pending orders for you when it is hit. LossGuardian is read-only and never closes or cancels anything. It watches your daily loss limit, trade count and losing streak in real time, and the moment you breach one, an always-on-top alert you cannot click away tells you to stop for the day. You close the trade yourself, in Angel One.
Because Angel One has no kill switch to switch on, LossGuardian shows no link for it. Your own rule, and the hard stop alert that quotes it back to you, are the brake.
One price. Every broker.
Using LossGuardian with Angel One costs exactly what it costs with Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Upstox or Groww. Other tools charge you more for using a bigger broker. We don’t.
Angel One questions, answered
Can LossGuardian place or close trades in my Angel One account?
No. LossGuardian is read-only. It cannot place, modify or cancel an order on your Angel One account. It watches your positions and warns you; closing a trade is always your own action in Angel One.
How do I connect Angel One to LossGuardian?
Install LossGuardian on Windows, sign in, and pick Angel One from the broker list. Paste your own Angel One API key, which LossGuardian stores in your operating system’s secure keychain on your own machine, then log in on Angel One’s own screen. We never see or store your Angel One password.
What happens if I close LossGuardian mid-session and reopen it?
It detects the trades that executed while it was closed, reconciles your positions and discipline data, and carries on. It will not fire a stack of stale alerts for breaches you can no longer do anything about.
Is LossGuardian an Angel One kill switch?
No, and Angel One has no kill switch of its own either. LossGuardian is read-only and cannot place, modify or cancel an order. It enforces the rule behind a kill switch: breach your daily loss limit, trade count or losing streak and an always-on-top alert you cannot dismiss tells you to stop for the day, followed by a cooldown. You close the trade yourself in Angel One.
Does it cost more to use LossGuardian with Angel One?
No. LossGuardian is one price for every supported broker: Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Upstox, Angel One, Groww. Your broker does not change what you pay.
