Understand the period
SEBI’s September 2024 study reported that 93% of individual equity F&O traders incurred losses during FY22–FY24, with aggregate losses above ₹1.8 lakh crore. Its July 2025 release reported nearly 91% loss-making individual equity-derivatives traders in FY2025.
Do not confuse a statistic with a diagnosis
These are market-wide findings for specified periods, not a forecast for an individual. They do not prove that any one behaviour caused all losses or that MethodA can prevent losses.
Use simulation thoughtfully
Practise reviewing decisions and account rules with virtual capital. Remember that live execution, costs and the pressure of real financial loss can differ from a simulator. No training tool can guarantee profitability.
