Derivatives trading is extremely risky!

SEBI has expressed concern about retail investors in derivatives trading, noting that 90% of them end up losing money despite unfavorable odds. A large amount of money is going from household savings into non-productive economic activity. Households are losing up to Rs 60,000 crore annually in the futures and options segment. The overall turnover in the derivatives segment has increased from Rs 210 lakh crore to Rs 500 lakh crore during the same period. Additionally, the participation of individual investors has increased from 2% to 41%. More than seventy percent of individual investors in the equity cash segment incurred losses in FY23.
