Why is trading in Futures and Options riskier as compared to Equity delivery and Equity intraday transactions ?

Modified on Thu, 3 Oct at 5:55 PM

F&O trading is more complex than Equity delivery and Equity intraday transactions. It requires a good understanding of underlying products and various strategies, such as options pricing, & risk management techniques. Further, investing in F&Os usually requires a higher initial investment compared to investing in cash market. This complexity increases the risk of making trading errors and incurring losses.
