A new study conducted by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has revealed that over 9 out of 10 individual traders in the equity futures and options (F&O) segment continue to incur significant losses. The aggregate losses of individual traders exceeded ?1 .8 lakh crores over the three-year period between FY22 and FY24.
This study follows up on a report published by SEBI in January 2023, which found that 89% of individual equity F&O traders lost money in FY22. With increased participation of individual investors in equity and equity derivatives markets, the current study was undertaken to analyze profit and loss patterns for individual traders in F&O during the three years FY22 to FY24, and for all the categories of investors in F&O during the single year FY24.
