SEBI&#8217;s 2023 study revealed startling facts about trading: 9 out of 10 traders in the equity Futures and Options segment faced net losses, with the average loss being around \u20b950,000. This doesn&#8217;t even account for additional transaction costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while the allure of swift gains might tempt many, the real worth of the stock market shines when approached with patience and a long-term perspective. Treat it not as a casino, but as a platform to partake in India&#8217;s growth story.
