Which one is riskier? Equity intraday or Futures n options?

F&O
1

I don’t have any exposure to futures and options.
Is it riskier than Equity intraday?
Why the broker requires an income proof? I mean obviously they won’t let us take a position if we don’t have the margin required.
How do I get a demat holding statement as a proof? I have NSDL demat with another broker.

Everything is riskier in stock market until you don’t have proper Techniques such as:

  1. Position sizing
  2. Risk to reward Management

None of them are risky or riskier compared to the original sin.

i.e opening a trading account.

Stock market is not a place for those who want to play safe.

I dont know if your are talking about blowing up accounts four times. If that is the case, then it is NOT funny.

I have a resolve in my mind that if i blow up once, i will never ever trade.

No
I haven’t blown up my account even single time
