What Is Kill Switch in Smart Exit on FYERS?

Kill Switch allows you to automatically stop trading for the rest of the day once Smart Exit is triggered. It is designed to help you avoid overtrading after hitting your defined profit or loss limit. When enabled, Kill Switch activates only after Smart Exit triggers.

Kill Switch Works

When Kill Switch is enabled:

Smart Exit monitors your overall account-level P&L.
Once your defined stop-loss or target condition is triggered, the selected action (Exit or Alert only) is executed.
Immediately after that, Kill Switch prevents you from placing new positions for the remainder of that trading day.

Kill Switch resets the next trading day.

Conditions for Kill Switch

It works only when All eligible positions are selected under Smart Exit.
If even one position is excluded, Kill Switch cannot be enabled.
If you place new orders after enabling Kill Switch but before Smart Exit triggers, Kill Switch will not activate.
It becomes effective only after Smart Exit condition is triggered.
