Retail Investors Continue F&O Trading Despite Sebi Curb

Even after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) introduced stricter rules to control high-risk futures and options (F&O) trading, many new investors are still participating in this market.

The number of people trading equity options has increased, and the total value of these trades has also gone up.

However, most individual investors tend to lose money in these trades.

Sebi has implemented several measures to reduce risks, such as increasing contract sizes and setting limits on trading.

Despite these efforts, new investors keep joining the market, and the overall trading activity remains high.

Large traders and proprietary firms dominate the market, while individual investors contribute a smaller portion of the total trading volume.
