What is ‘Safe Exit’ Feature on Groww

Safe Exit is a newly launched feature on Groww, especially built for F&O traders. It is a risk-management solution that automatically triggers orders to close open positions in futures and options when the total losses for the day reach a level a trader has set.

  • You can easily modify or cancel the ‘Safe Exit’ feature once it is activated, at any time, through the ‘Position’ tab.
  • Groww does not charge additional fees to use or access the ‘Safe Exit’ feature. However, standard brokerage fees may apply as per your square-off orders for open positions.
  • Setting your trigger level cautiously is essential, as it will determine when your positions will be closed. Note that the total returns may vary as we trigger the order at that limit. The orders are placed as market orders and can be executed at whatever price is available at the stock exchange.
  • If you exit all your positions yourself, the Safe Exit will still be active if you enter a new position.
  • If the ‘Safe Exit’ does not trigger on the day you set it, it will be reset the next morning.
  • The ‘Validity Period’ here means that you have set the safe exit, and if it's not triggered during the day, then the safe exit will expire after market hours, irrespective of whether you have an open position or not.
