93% of F&O traders in India lose money 📉

India is the world’s largest equity derivatives market by volume, yet SEBI’s 2024 study reveals that 93% of individual traders incur losses. As part of my PGDM dissertation at Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), I am investigating the behavioural, educational, and structural factors driving this alarming loss rate among retail options traders in India.

If you currently trade or have recently traded in Equity Futures & Options, I would be grateful if you could spare 5 minutes to fill out this anonymous survey.

Your responses will directly inform academic research aimed at improving financial literacy and investor protection in India’s derivatives market.
