Pravesh Gour on Retail F&O Trading as Nearly 90% of Traders Face Losses
Retail participation in the futures and options market remains a major area of investor attention after coverage highlighted that nearly 90% of retail F&O traders lost money in FY26. The Outlook Business report featuring Pravesh Gour examines continued retail participation in F&O markets despite the high proportion of traders experiencing losses.
The discussion highlights an important aspect of market participation. Strong retail interest in derivatives does not necessarily translate into profitable outcomes, making investor behaviour and risk management important considerations for participants. The continued return of retail traders to F&O markets despite widespread losses also raises broader questions about trading behaviour and the factors that encourage investors to remain active in derivatives.
The coverage highlights the importance of understanding the risks associated with F&O trading and taking a more informed approach to market participation.
