Why most traders struggle

93 out of every 100 traders in India lose money. The other 7 did their homework.

93%
Individual traders ended in loss
FY22–FY24
Average loss:
Close to ₹2 lakh
per trader
60%
India is now the world's largest derivatives market accounting for close to 60 percent of all equity derivatives traded globally.
97% / 96%
97 percent of profits made by foreign portfolio investors and 96 percent of profits made by proprietary trading desks came from algorithmic trading strategies.
1%
Only 1 percent of individual traders managed to earn a profit above ₹1 lakh after adjusting for costs.

A study by the Securities and Exchange Board of India found that 93 percent of individual traders in the equity futures and options segment ended up in losses between FY22 and FY24 with an average loss of close to ₹2 lakh per trader. Meanwhile foreign investors and proprietary trading desks kept winning and most of that winning came from algorithmic and research-backed methods rather than guesswork.

The gap between the traders who lose and the desks that consistently win is not luck. It is process, research and risk management. That is exactly what this bundle is built to teach.
