P&L Protect on SAHI: stop loss, target and trailing stop on your total P&L, with a kill switch

P&L Protect: a stop, a target and a trailing stop on your whole day

A normal stop loss guards one trade. P&L Protect guards your day: set a loss limit and a profit target on all your positions added together, trail it as you gain, and SAHI squares everything off when a level is hit.

Four controls on your total P&L

WhereSAHI appPortfolioPositionsSet P&L Protect

P&L Stop: “if I am down ₹X across all my positions today, close everything.” P&L Target: “if I am up ₹X today, book it and close everything.” Both are set in ₹1 steps.

Trailing Stop: the stop follows your total P&L up and never comes back down. Kill Switch: once P&L Protect squares you off, no new F&O or intraday trades for the rest of the day, so you cannot talk yourself back in.

Trailing stop, worked out

You are up ₹5,000 with a trail of ₹2,000. The stop sits at ₹3,000 and rises as your P&L rises. If the market turns, you keep at least ₹3,000.

Good to know

P&L Protect works on all positions together and resets every day.
The P&L Stop can be negative (a loss limit) or positive (a profit floor).
