💨 Abstract

A new SEBI study reveals that 93% of individual traders in India's equity futures and options segment continue to incur significant losses over three years. Despite consecutive years of losses, more than 75% of these traders continue trading. The aggregate losses amounted to over Rs 1.8 lakh crore. Most profits were generated by larger entities using trading algorithms, while individual traders faced an average loss of Rs 2 lakh (including transaction costs).
