Most individual traders in derivatives lose money

From SEBI’s risk disclosure on derivatives:

• 9 out of 10 individual traders in equity Futures and Options Segment, incurred net losses.
• On an average, loss makers registered net trading loss close to ₹50,000.
• Over and above the net trading losses incurred, loss makers expended an additional 28% of net trading losses as transaction costs.
• Those making net trading profits, incurred between 15% to 50% of such profits as transaction cost.

Source: SEBI study dated January 25, 2023 on “Analysis of Profit and Loss of Individual Traders dealing in equity Futures and Options (F&O) Segment”, wherein Aggregate Level findings are based on annual Profit/Loss incurred by individual traders in equity F&O during FY 2021-22.

A later SEBI study, published in September 2024, found that 93% of more than one crore individual traders in equity F&O made losses between FY 2021-22 and FY 2023-24.

Risks of futures and options

Futures use leverage. The margin you put up is small compared with the size of the contract, so a small price move can cause a large loss. You can lose more than your margin and may have to add money at short notice.

Options can lose their entire value in a short time. If you sell (write) options, your possible loss can be much larger than the premium you receive.

Stop-loss orders do not guarantee that your loss will be limited to the amount you intended, because fast-moving markets can skip past your price.

Other risks

Online trading depends on technology. Delays, outages or errors in your broker’s systems, your internet connection or market data can affect your orders. Information in the app may be delayed or contain mistakes.

No guarantees

We do not promise any profit or return. To the extent the law allows, Market Vision Analytics is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, any information in the Services.

Trading can become addictive

If trading is hurting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, stop and talk to someone you trust or to a professional.
