Risk Management
Options Risk & Exposure Check
F&O trading is high risk, and most participants lose money. PortoAI acts as your AI risk layer, it helps you visualize real exposure, decode the Greeks, and stress-test positions before you commit capital. No tips, no signals, just the clarity you need to trade with your eyes open.
The problem
One bad trade can wipe you out
SEBI's 2023 study confirmed what most market participants already suspected: 9 out of 10 individual F&O traders in India lose money. The median net loss was around Rs 50,000 per year, and across the three-year study period the total losses crossed Rs 1.8 lakh crore. These are not reckless gamblers, many are salaried professionals who opened F&O accounts looking for additional income. The problem is structural: leverage magnifies mistakes, and most retail traders simply do not have the tools to measure the risk they are taking on. Consider a common scenario. A trader sells a BankNifty weekly put, collects a small premium, and assumes the trade is 'safe' because the strike is far out of the money. But they never checked what a 3% gap-down would do to their margin, how Gamma accelerates near expiry, or how a sudden IV spike could push the position deep into loss territory. When the move happens, and eventually it always does, the loss dwarfs months of collected premiums. This is not bad luck; it is the predictable result of trading without risk visibility. SEBI's follow-up circular now mandates additional risk disclosures from brokers, but disclosures alone do not change behaviour. What traders actually need is a way to see their real exposure, in rupees, in Greeks, in worst-case scenarios, before they hit the buy or sell button. That is exactly the gap PortoAI fills.

- F&O traders protecting their capital from outsized losses

What you can do
Guardrails for your capital
We do not give tips or trading signals. PortoAI gives you the data and analysis to understand your risk before you take it, so every trade you enter is a conscious, informed decision rather than a hopeful guess.
Visual Payoff Charts
See your max profit, max loss, and breakeven points for any single-leg or multi-leg strategy. PortoAI renders interactive payoff diagrams that update as you adjust strike prices, expiries, or lot sizes, so you know exactly what the trade looks like at every price level before you place it.
The Greeks, Simplified
Understand your Delta, Theta, Gamma, and Vega risk in plain English. Instead of staring at a table of numbers, ask PortoAI what your Greeks actually mean in practical terms, how much you stand to lose per day from time decay, how sensitive your position is to a 1% move in the underlying, and where your risk accelerates.
Position Sizing Nudges
Get clear alerts if a single trade consumes too much of your available capital or margin. PortoAI checks your intended position against your total portfolio size and flags concentration risk, because the fastest way to blow up an account is to go all-in on a single expiry.
IV Crush & Event Risk
Understand how earnings announcements, RBI policy days, and Union Budget sessions can crush your option premiums overnight. PortoAI flags upcoming high-impact events for your holdings and shows you what a post-event IV contraction could do to your position's value, so you are never blindsided by a volatility reset.
Strategy Selection
Compare 19 common option strategies and see which ones match your market outlook, risk tolerance, and capital constraints. Whether you are bullish, bearish, or neutral, and whether you want defined risk or are comfortable with undefined exposure. PortoAI narrows the field and explains the trade-offs of each approach in straightforward language.

“Spent two hours researching a stock last month. Asked PortoAI about Tata Motors this week, filings, peer comparison, risk flags, portfolio fit, all in under two minutes. Saved me roughly 6 hours of research this month alone.”

“Portfolio was deep red, I was about to double down on a losing Bank Nifty position. Got a revenge trade warning. Closed the app, went for a walk. That position dropped another 8% over the next week. PortoAI saved me roughly ₹12,400 on that single trade.”

“Used to keep Screener, TradingView, and Zerodha Kite open in three tabs. Now I just ask PortoAI. Fundamentals, technicals, risk check, position size. Cut my pre-trade research from 20 minutes to 3 minutes per stock.”
