Sentinel Intelligence Guide

Master Your Trading Psychology

Sentinels are your automated risk partners. They monitor every tick, so you can focus on execution without the emotional burden of manual risk management.

Max Loss Sentinel

The ultimate emergency brake. Once your total daily P&L hits this limit, the Kill Switch triggers instantly, closing all positions and preventing "revenge trading." It protects your capital from catastrophic days.

Primary Defensive Layer

Max Profit Sentinel

Don't give back your hard-earned gains. When you reach your daily target, this sentinel locks the terminal. It ensures you "walk away a winner" and prevents over-trading during euphoric states.

Winning Discipline

Streak Sentinel

Monitors your consecutive losses. If your strategy is out of sync with the market (e.g., 3 losses in a row), it forces a break. Markets change phases; this sentinel ensures you don't fight a losing battle.

Market Sync Monitor

Drawdown Guard

A dynamic trailing stop-loss for your entire day. If you were up ₹10k and it drops to ₹8k (20% drawdown from peak), it triggers. It protects your peak equity from eroding during sharp reversals.

Dynamic Equity Protection

Profit Lock Sentinel

Our most advanced sentinel. Once your profit hits an Activation Trigger (e.g., ₹15,000), it activates a Lock Floor (e.g., ₹10,000). Even if the market turns, you are guaranteed to walk away with at least your Floor amount. It effectively "banks" your profits while letting winners run.

Institutional Capital Banking

Per-Trade Sentinel

Safety at the execution level. It monitors every individual open position. If any single trade hits your defined Stop Loss or Take Profit threshold, it kills that specific trade instantly, regardless of your overall daily P&L.

Execution Level Safety

Time Sentinel

Prevents "After Hours" mistakes. Set your trading window (e.g., 9:15 AM to 3:20 PM). Outside these hours, the Sentinel will block any attempts to open new trades and auto-close open ones to avoid overnight risk.

SEBI Cybersecurity Compliance

Why SEBI Mandates Dedicated Static IPs for Trading APIs

According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) cybersecurity & cyber resilience framework, automated API trading requires strict security parameters to prevent unauthorized access, order spoofing, and system manipulation. A Dedicated Static IP (Proxy) is not just a performance feature—it is a mandatory compliance safeguard for secure algorithmic trading.

Mandatory IP Pinning & Security

SEBI mandates that brokers enforce strict source IP validation. By pinning your trading API key to a single dedicated static IP, brokers ensure that order execution commands only originate from your authorized, secure AlgoDevStudio terminal.

Order Audit Trail Integrity

Under exchange regulations, every single order submitted to the exchange must be logged with a unique, tamper-proof audit trail of the originating IP address. Shared IP pools muddy this compliance trail and can cause order audits to fail.

Preventing Concurrent Login Bans

If multiple traders use a generic cloud service (such as AWS/GCP dynamic IP pools), their order traffic originates from the same IP address. Broker risk systems identify this as a concurrent multi-client security violation and immediately ban the shared IP and lock the associated client accounts.

Eliminating Rate Limiting & Firewalls

With a dedicated proxy gateway, your trading packets bypass public shared filters, eliminating the risk of captcha challenges, broker DDoS firewalls, or order latency spikes during high-volume market hours.

Algorithmic Security Warning

Running trading automation over non-static or shared public networks violates cybersecurity guidelines and is a leading trigger for manual account locks and API-token invalidation across major stock brokers.
