9. SEBI Study Reference
According to a study published by SEBI (September 2024):
The SEBI study, as a picture
93 in every 100 individual F&O traders lost money, FY22 to FY24
- 93% of individual retail traders in the F&O (Futures & Options) segment incurred losses between FY22 and FY24
- Aggregate losses exceeded ₹1.8 lakh crores over this three-year period
