91% F&O Traders Lost ₹1.06 Lakh Crore: Here's What They Did Wrong

Summary

SEBI's data is blunt: about 91% of Indian retail traders ended FY25 in the red, with combined losses near 1.06 lakh crore rupees. This video argues the root cause is a mindset error, treating trading like a hobby or a quick-income scheme rather than a business. Most beginners arrive chasing the fantasy of two hours of work for fifty thousand a month, with entries but no system and hope but no plan. The reframe is to run trading like a startup with three non-negotiable phases: structured learning first, then a written business plan, then small-scale practice before any attempt to scale. It is aimed especially at beginners and salaried professionals tempted to quit a stable job, because the difference between surviving and blowing up is rarely the strategy. It is whether there is a real system underneath it.
