Screen Sharing Privacy for Traders: How to Hide Portfolio Balances and PnL

5/4/2026

If you are a day trader, a financial advisor, or someone who creates content around stock markets and personal finance, you know the struggle: you want to share your screen to demonstrate a strategy, but you don't want the world to see your total portfolio value or your daily PnL (Profit and Loss).

Platforms like Zerodha (Kite), Upstox, Groww, and INDmoney are fantastic, but they plaster your account balance and margins across the top of every dashboard.

Until now, the only way to hide this was to painstakingly edit your videos after recording, or tape physical paper to your monitor.

The Challenge of Redacting Financial Data

You might think, "Why not just blur all currency symbols on the screen?"

The problem with generic "currency blurring" is that it ruins the browsing experience. If an extension blurs every $ or ₹ it sees, you won't be able to read financial news, view stock prices, or shop online.

We needed a smarter approach.

Enter Contextual Financial Redaction

In the latest update to ScreenMask Pro, we introduced Smart Contextual Redaction.

Instead of blurring every number, ScreenMask's new engine looks for specific financial contexts. It actively searches for sensitive keywords like:

  • Balance:
  • Available Margin:
  • Portfolio Value:
  • P&L:
  • Returns:

When it finds one of these keywords, it only blurs the specific currency amount immediately following it.

This means you can freely browse live stock charts and read Bloomberg articles without any annoying blurs, but the moment you open your broker's dashboard, your actual account balance and PnL are instantly protected.

Comprehensive Banking Protection

In addition to contextual balances, we've also added strict algorithmic detection for sensitive banking identifiers. ScreenMask will now automatically redact:

  • IFSC Codes (India)
  • SWIFT/BIC Codes (Global)
  • IBANs (International Bank Account Numbers)
  • MICR Codes

Trade and Share with Confidence

You shouldn't have to choose between creating great content and protecting your financial privacy.

By utilizing Smart Contextual Redaction and strict banking code detection, ScreenMask provides the ultimate privacy shield for the modern financial professional.
