Kill switch on Kite (F&O cooling-off)

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The kill switch on Zerodha’s Kite platform is a voluntary self-exclusion feature that allows a trader to suspend all futures and options (F&O) order placement for a defined cooling-off period. When activated, the kill switch prevents the account from entering new F&O positions until the cooling-off window expires. The feature is designed to interrupt loss-chasing behaviour – the documented tendency of traders who have suffered significant losses to increase their risk-taking in an attempt to recover, often compounding losses further.
