AutoSquareOff Algorithm: Save Money by Avoiding Broker Square-Off Fees

Introduction

If you’re an active intraday trader in the Indian stock market, you’ve likely encountered hefty square-off fees charged by your broker. Most brokers automatically square off intraday positions before market closing, and this process incurs additional charges. This is where the AutoSquareOff Algorithm comes into play. By running this algorithm on your PC, cloud, or AWS server, you can automatically close your positions before your broker does, saving you from unnecessary charges.

Why Do Brokers Charge Square-Off Fees?

Most brokers require intraday positions to be closed before the market closes. If traders fail to square off their positions, the broker’s Risk Management System (RMS) does it automatically.

However, this forced square-off comes at a cost:

  • Square-off charges: Brokers charge a fixed fee per order squared off by them, ranging from ₹20 to ₹100 per trade.
  • Additional penalties: If positions remain open due to margin shortages, brokers may charge additional interest or penalty fees.
  • Execution delays: Broker-initiated square-offs may not always happen at the best price, resulting in losses.

By using an AutoSquareOff Algorithm, you can ensure your orders are closed at your preferred price and time—without letting the broker charge you extra.


How Does the AutoSquareOff Algorithm Work?

The AutoSquareOff Algorithm runs on your system and automatically squares off all your open intraday positions before the broker’s deadline. Here’s how it works:

  1. Monitors your trades: The algorithm constantly scans your intraday positions across different stocks.
  2. Checks broker cut-off times: Every broker has a specific square-off time (typically between 3:15 PM – 3:20 PM for equities).
  3. Executes trades before RMS intervention: The system triggers the order before the broker’s square-off process, ensuring you close positions on your terms.
  4. Reduces brokerage fees: Since the square-off is done from your end, you avoid brokerage RMS charges, leading to cost savings.

Features of the AutoSquareOff Algorithm

  • Customizable execution time: You can set when your trades should be squared off (e.g., 3:14 PM instead of 3:20 PM).
  • Works for any broker: Whether you use Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One, ICICI Direct, or any other Indian broker, the algorithm can be customized.
  • Compatible with multiple platforms: Run it on your PC, VPS, or AWS cloud for seamless automation.
  • Supports multiple asset classes: Works with stocks, options, futures, and commodities.
  • Instant execution: Ensures fast and efficient order execution without human intervention.

Benefits of Using the AutoSquareOff Algorithm

1. Save Money on Brokerage Fees

Broker RMS charges can quickly add up, especially for high-frequency traders. By using this algorithm, you eliminate forced square-off charges, saving anywhere from ₹500 to ₹5000 per month (depending on trade volume).

2. Avoid Broker Penalties & Hidden Charges

Sometimes, brokers charge additional penalties if positions are squared off due to margin shortages. The AutoSquareOff Algorithm prevents such penalties by executing trades before the broker’s intervention.

3. Get Better Trade Execution

Broker RMS square-offs can lead to poor execution prices. With AutoSquareOff, you get better control over trade timing, ensuring higher profitability.

4. Automate Trading Without Constant Monitoring

The algorithm runs in the background, allowing you to focus on other trading strategies while it handles square-offs automatically.

5. Works Across Different Brokers & Markets

This tool is not broker-dependent—it can be customized to work with any trading platform in India, including Zerodha, Angel One, Upstox, 5Paisa, and more.

    • Absolutely! The AutoSquareOff Algorithm is fully customizable and works seamlessly with Zerodha’s trading API. Whether you’re trading equities, options, or futures, the algorithm can be tailored to automatically close your positions before Zerodha’s RMS square-off time, helping you avoid the ₹59 per order penalty or autosqareoff charges per order.

    • When brokers forcibly square off positions, they charge ₹20–₹100 per trade. If you’re trading 10+ times a day and forget even a few positions, this adds up quickly. By auto-exiting your trades, the algorithm can help save ₹500 to ₹5000 per month—money that goes straight back to your profits.

    • Great question! Most brokers begin square-off around 3:15 PM to 3:20 PM. To be safe, we recommend setting your AutoSquareOff time between 3:10 PM and 3:14 PM. This ensures your trades close just before the broker’s RMS triggers, giving you better prices and zero penalties.
