Retail traders lost $9.6 billion in equity derivatives

Retail trader involvement in equity derivatives has significantly dwindled from the previous year. This downturn signifies the impact of regulatory reforms aimed at reducing reckless speculative behavior. With the Securities and Exchange Board of India and policymakers introducing multiple safeguards, there has been a noticeable impact on overall trading volumes.
