# What is Kill Switch?

> You can use the Kill Switch feature to disable a specific trading segment or take a break from trading. This feature is part of the nudge initiative,…

## Short answer

You can use the Kill Switch feature to disable a specific trading segment or take a break from trading. This feature is part of the nudge initiative, which aims to prevent you from experiencing burnout due to excessive trading.

## How to disable a segment on Arrow app

Tap on your user ID.

Tap on Profile.

Tap on Segments.

Tap on the toggle button for the particular segment and then on Continue.

Your segment will be deactivated within 5 minutes. Before you disable a segment, ensure you have no open orders or positions. Once you disable a segment, you can re-enable it only after 12 hours. The time displayed for re-enabling the segment is displayed using the 24-hour clock.

## How to enable a segment

Visit app.arrow.trade/account/segment-activation.

Click on the toggle switch for the particular segment and then Continue.

Select E-mail or Mobile to receive the OTP to your registered e-mail ID or mobile number and click on Continue.

Enter the OTP you received and click on Verify.

Once you enable the segment, you can start trading instantly.

## Things to keep in mind

Once the GTT triggers, if you have disabled the segment, your orders will be rejected. The same applies to basket orders and SIPs that get triggered.

Even if you disable the segment, your demat account remains open with Arrow. Hence, you will still be charged Account Maintenance Charge (AMC)
