Trading rules
Loss limits, drawdown, instruments and prohibited practices.
How is the max daily loss calculated?
The daily loss limit is a percentage of your starting balance, measured on equity (closed plus open P&L) against the previous day's closing balance. If equity touches the limit at any moment, positions are closed and the account is breached.
What does static vs trailing drawdown mean?
Static max loss is fixed from your starting balance and never moves. End-of-day trailing max loss moves up with your highest end-of-day balance until it reaches your starting balance, then locks there.
Is option selling allowed?
Yes. Both buying and writing index options are allowed. Hedged structures get lower margin than naked shorts, and margins step up on expiry day.
Can I hold positions overnight?
No. All programs are intraday. Open positions are auto squared-off before the session closes: 3:15 PM for equity, 3:25 PM for NSE/BSE F&O and 11:15 PM for MCX.
Can I trade during news and events?
Yes, including RBI policy, budget and results days. The usual risk rules still apply, and expiry-day margins may be higher.
Are EAs, bots or copy trading allowed?
Personal semi-automated tools such as alerts and order helpers are fine. Fully automated HFT, latency arbitrage, exploiting pricing errors, group or copy trading across different people, and account sharing are prohibited. See the Prohibited Practices policy.
