📌 Title:
Automatic Take a Break activation based on number of executed trades
📖 Scenario / Use Case:
A retail intraday trader using FYERS for manual discretionary trading. My trading style is based on real-time market conviction (not fully automated strategies). Because of this, I often face the issue of overtrading after initial planned trades are completed.
To control discipline, I currently rely on the Take a Break feature manually. However, in fast-moving markets, it becomes difficult to consistently activate it after reaching my planned trade limit.
🎯 Feature Requirement:
I request a new functionality in FYERS:
✔ “Auto Take a Break Trigger based on trade count”
System should allow users to define:
Maximum number of trades per day (example: 2 or 3 trades)
Once executed trades reach the defined limit, → FYERS should automatically activate Take a Break mode
⚙️ Expected Behavior:
Example setup:
Max trades allowed = 2
User takes 2 trades during the day
System action:
After 2nd executed trade is completed (entry filled), → FYERS automatically activates Take a Break → Blocks further order placement for the rest of the trading session
🔄 Optional Enhancements (if possible):
Option to define:
Trade count per segment (Equity / F&O separately)
Reset at next trading day automatically
Alert before reaching limit (e.g., after 1st trade warning)
📊 Benefits:
Prevents emotional overtrading
Improves trader discipline
Reduces losses caused by revenge trading
Helps beginners stick to predefined trading plans
Encourages risk-controlled trading behavior
⚠️ Current Limitation:
At present:
Take a Break must be activated manually
No automation exists based on trade count or execution count
