Connect with your own keyGroww kill switch and daily loss limits, without handing over your account
Groww gives you a stop-loss on a trade. It does not give you a stop-loss on your day. LossGuardian sits alongside your Groww account, watches your realised and unrealised P&L in real time, and stops you the moment you hit the limit you set, before the day turns into the one you regret.
Read-only. LossGuardian cannot place, modify or cancel an order in your Groww account. It warns you, and you act. You log in on Groww’s own screen, and we never see or store your password.
How LossGuardian connects to Groww
- 1
Pick Groww in LossGuardian and paste your own Groww API key. It is stored in your computer's secure keychain, never on our servers.
- 2
Log in on Groww's own screen. Your password goes to Groww, not to us.
- 3
Set your limits: a rupee figure, a percentage of capital, a trade count, a cutoff time. These are your rules, not our defaults.
- 4
Trade as normal. LossGuardian watches in the background and speaks up only when you cross a line you drew.
The missing guardrail in Groww
Most risk-management tools do not support Groww at all, so Groww traders are told to change broker to get discipline software. That is backwards. And once a tool does hold your trading history, the question becomes who else can read it, and what happens when you change machines.
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
A full-screen stop, not a toast you can click away while tilted.
What Groww traders get most out of
Two accounts never merge
Every file (trades, alerts, hard-stop state, analytics, backups) is namespaced by broker plus a hashed account id. Run two accounts on the same broker and their histories stay separate, permanently.
Encrypted, versioned local backups
Backups are sealed with scrypt-derived keys and AES-GCM before anything is written, fired automatically at day-close and session-end. Change machines without losing your history, and without that history being readable by anyone else.
Export your session, journal it properly
A full day of trades, discipline stats, alerts and equity curve exports as structured markdown, for the current session or any past day, ready to paste into an AI assistant or a Notion journalling workflow.
Is this a Groww kill switch?
Not in the sense of software that reaches into your Groww account and closes your positions for you. LossGuardian is read-only: it cannot place, modify or cancel an order. What it does is enforce the rule behind a kill switch: the moment your loss limit, trade count or losing streak is breached, the session is stopped with a full-screen alert you cannot click away, and a cooldown holds before it treats you as clear to re-enter. You close the trade, in Groww. That is the part that builds the habit, and it is the part software cannot do for you.
The nearest thing is a deep link. From the hard-stop popup, or from Risk Manager settings, LossGuardian opens Groww’s own kill-switch screen in your browser, already signed in. You then activate it yourself with the OTP Groww sends you, which the broker requires and no third party can supply. So the trip is one click instead of five, and the decision is still yours. We never toggle it for you: no code path in LossGuardian can flip a live brokerage safety control on your behalf.
One price. Every broker.
Using LossGuardian with Groww costs exactly what it costs with Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Upstox or Angel One. Other tools charge you more for using a bigger broker. We don’t.
Groww questions, answered
Can LossGuardian place or close trades in my Groww account?
No. LossGuardian is read-only. It cannot place, modify or cancel an order on your Groww account. It watches your positions and warns you; closing a trade is always your own action in Groww.
How does LossGuardian connect to Groww?
You supply your own Groww API key, which LossGuardian stores in your operating system’s secure keychain on your own machine. You log in on Groww’s own screen, and we never see or store your Groww password.
Do other risk-management tools support Groww?
Most do not. Groww traders are usually told to switch broker to get discipline software, which is a lot to ask. LossGuardian supports Groww with the same guardrails and the same price as every other broker.
Is LossGuardian a Groww kill switch?
Not one that closes your positions for you. 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 the session stops with a full-screen alert you cannot dismiss, followed by a cooldown. You close the trade yourself in Groww. For Groww’s own kill switch it is semi-automatic: LossGuardian deep-links you straight to that screen from the popup or from Risk Manager settings, signed in and ready, and you activate it with the OTP Groww sends. That OTP step is a broker requirement and it is mandatory, which is exactly why no tool can flip the switch for you.
Does it cost more to use LossGuardian with Groww?
No. LossGuardian is one price for every supported broker: Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Upstox, Angel One, Groww. Your broker does not change what you pay.
