Derivatives are not about thrill. They are about discipline — knowing the edge, and respecting the line

Futures & Options (F&O)

Futures and Options are not like buying shares. Here, you are only dealing in price — not the actual stock. You are betting on whether the price will go up or down in the short term. If your guess is right, you can earn fast. But if you’re wrong, the loss can be big — sometimes bigger than your original money.

Futures are an agreement to buy or sell a stock later at a price you decide now. Options give you the right — not the promise — to buy or sell at a certain price later.

Sounds exciting, right? But here’s the reality...

⚠️ Important Risk Warning – Must Read!

As per SEBI’s study on the Futures and Options (F&O) market in India:

🔴 9 out of every 10 retail traders in the equity F&O segment lost money.

🔴 On average, each trader who lost money, lost nearly ₹50,000.

🔴 These traders also paid extra charges (like brokerage and taxes) which added about 28% more to their total loss.

🔴 Even traders who made profit gave away 15% to 50% of their gains as costs.

So, the chances of making steady profits are very low — unless you have strong knowledge, discipline, and experience.
