Zerodha’s nudge system and the F&O kill switch are two related investor protection features that address the documented risk of retail traders losing money in the derivatives (futures and options) segment. Kite nudges are real-time behavioural warnings that appear at the order ticket level when a specific order meets a risk criterion. The F&O kill switch is a more drastic opt-out tool that disables the ability to open new derivative positions entirely. Both features were developed partly in response to SEBI directives on investor protection in the F&O segment. This guide explains how each feature works and how to use them.
