Скачать или смотреть Why Every Retail Trader Must Write to SEBI against Banning Weekly Expiry? |

When regulators step in with new rules, the intention is always shown as “protecting the small investor.” But does every new restriction really protect? Or does it just change the way traders operate, without solving the actual problem?

This video is not just another commentary—it’s a call to action. We have written to SEBI and the Finance Ministry, highlighting why banning weekly expiries in the derivatives market is not the solution to India’s retail trading crisis.

And now, it’s time for every retail trader, every market participant, and every concerned citizen to raise their voice too.

In recent years, SEBI’s reports have shown a grim reality—most retail traders lose money in F&O. The regulator’s response has been to tighten rules, curb access, and modify products.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud: changing expiry cycles or product structures doesn’t fix the behavioral and psychological challenges that cause retail traders to lose.

Traders who speculate without skills will simply adapt to the new framework and continue losing, often in even riskier ways.

Removing weekly expiries may reduce volumes, but it will not reduce losses. Instead, it risks damaging market efficiency, liquidity, and accessibility—while doing nothing to improve trader outcomes.

What SEBI shall really be focusing upon?

1. Lack of structured financial education – Most retail traders enter derivatives without training, strategy, or discipline.

2. Unrealistic expectations – Many traders dream of overnight riches without respecting the risks involved.

3. Easy access to speculative capital – Loan apps and unsecured financing push people into markets with borrowed money.

Here is what SEBI can do to SOLVE the Problem

1. A strong and healthy market requires infrastructure + awareness + accountability. Instead of removing products like weekly expiry, SEBI and policymakers should focus on:

2. Trader education & certification – A minimum skill test before F&O access. If you can’t drive without a license, why should you speculate without basic knowledge?

3. Capital responsibility – Restricting F&O participation to those with financial resilience, not borrowed capital.

4. Awareness campaigns – Large-scale initiatives on risk, probability of profit, and real trader stories, not just fine-print disclosures.

These steps actually target the problem at the source—human behavior and structural gaps—while keeping India’s markets efficient and competitive.

If we want SEBI and the Finance Ministry to understand that retail traders are not asking for shortcuts but for fairness, education, and transparency, then we must participate in the consultation process.

One email may seem small. But thousands of emails from across the country show unity, seriousness, and urgency. They prove that retail traders are engaged, aware, and ready to be part of the solution.
