Revealed in the report.
In the SEBI report, it was said how many losses have been suffered by which type of trader in a year and who has made how much profit. Obviously, the losses have been suffered only by small or retail traders, who come with less capital and dream of becoming millionaires overnight by buying options. The winners are the foreign investors and traders who have a lot of capital. But this SEBI report reveals another truth.
