Introducing Secure Exit – Protect Your Gains, Limit Your Losses

At Angel One, we understand that managing risk is crucial in Intraday and Futures & Options (F&O) trading. With markets moving swiftly, it’s crucial to have safeguards in place that help you control potential losses while ensuring your profits are secured. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Secure Exit – a powerful tool designed to automatically close all your open Intraday and F&O positions when your profit or loss reaches a set level.

Secure Exit allows you to stay in control by setting either a total loss trigger, total gain trigger, or both. This gives you the flexibility to manage downside risk while securing profits, all without constant manual intervention.

What is Secure Exit?

Secure Exit is a smart responsible trading feature that monitors your combined realized and unrealized gains/losses for all your Intraday and F&O positions. If your total loss or total gain hits the pre-set trigger value, Secure Exit will:

• Exit all open positions at the available market price that works in your favor
• Cancel any related open orders tied to those positions

Whether you’re looking to limit your downside or secure profits, Secure Exit ensures your trades are automatically managed to align with your strategy.

Key Benefits of Secure Exit

• Risk Control: Automatically exits all trades when your total loss reaches a limit set by you, preventing runaway losses.
• Secure Profits: Set a trigger that automatically closes all positions once you reach a defined total gain.
• Comprehensive Protection: Secure Exit tracks both realized and unrealized Gain & Loss (G&L) across intraday and F&O, ensuring a holistic approach to risk management.

How to Use Secure Exit (Step-by-Step)

1. Access Secure Exit

• Go to the Positions tab in the Angel One app or web platform.
• Tap on the Secure Exit option located on your positions screen.

2. Set Your Trigger Values

Choose to set:

• Total Loss Trigger – the loss level at which all open Intraday and F&O positions are automatically exited. 
• Total Gain Trigger – the profit level at which you want to exit all open Intraday and F&O positions.
• Both – for maximum control, set both values. This way, Secure Exit will trigger whichever comes first.

3. Confirm and Activate

• Review the trigger values and hit Confirm. Secure Exit is now active!
• You can modify these values at any time by returning to the Secure Exit section.

4. Monitor and Manage

• If you manually close all your positions, Secure Exit will automatically cancel the trigger since no open positions exist. You will receive a notification confirming this action.

Example – How Secure Exit Works in Real Life

Imagine you are trading Bank Nifty and Reliance intraday. You set:

• Total Loss Trigger: ₹3,500
• Total Gain Trigger: ₹5,000

If your combined unrealized and realized loss reaches ₹3,500, Secure Exit will immediately close all open intraday and F&O positions. Similarly, if your combined profit hits ₹5,000, the feature will exit your trades to secure the profits.

Important Note: The final realized gain/loss may differ from the trigger amount as Secure Exit closes trades at the available market price that works for you, which can fluctuate rapidly.

Important Considerations

• Market Volatility: Secure Exit executes trades at market prices, which may result in slippage during volatile periods.
• Partial Exits: Secure Exit closes all your open Intraday and F&O positions – partial exits are not supported under this feature.

FAQs

1. Will Secure Exit cancel orders for individual stocks or just overall positions?
   Secure Exit applies to all open positions across Intraday and F&O and cancels related open orders at the portfolio level.

However, it does not cancel orders for stocks without open positions.

For example:

• If you have an open position in NIFTY 09 JAN 24000 CE, and Secure Exit is triggered, it will:
  • Exit all NIFTY 09 JAN 24000 CE open positions and
  • Cancel any pending orders for NIFTY 09 JAN 24000 CE.
• If you also have an open order for NIFTY 09 JAN 24200 CE but no open position in NIFTY 09 JAN 24200 CE, Secure Exit will not cancel NIFTY 09 JAN 24200 CE’s open order.

Secure Exit only affects stocks and contracts where open positions exist at the time the trigger is activated.

2. What happens if I close all positions manually?
   If you manually close all positions while Secure Exit is active, the trigger will automatically cancel, and you’ll receive a notification confirming the cancellation.
3. Can I adjust Secure Exit during live trading hours?
   Yes, Secure Exit values can be updated anytime during market hours. The changes will take effect immediately.
4. What if the market is volatile when Secure Exit triggers?
   Secure Exit will close your trades at the available market rate that works in your favour. However, actual realized profit/loss may differ from the trigger value due to price movements at the time of execution.
5. What is the validity of the Secure Exit trigger?

The Secure Exit trigger remains active for one trading day. If it is not triggered by the end of the day, it will automatically reset. To continue using Secure Exit the next day, you will need to set fresh trigger values at the start of the new trading session.

6. What positions does Secure Exit cover?

• Intraday trading applies to NSE and BSE cash segments.
• Futures & Options (F&O) trading covers NSE, BSE, MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange), and NDEX (National Derivatives Exchange).

7. What happens if I don’t have any open Intraday or F&O positions?
   If you don’t have any open Intraday or Futures & Options (F&O) positions, the Secure Exit option will still be visible but in a disabled state.

When you click on it, a message will appear:
“Secure Exit cannot be created. No open F&O or Intraday positions.”

Secure Exit can only be activated if you have open positions in:

• Intraday trades (NSE or BSE cash segments)
• F&O positions (NSE, BSE, MCX, NDEX)

The feature does not apply to delivery or margin-based trades.
