Options & F&O Trading Course: FAQs

Can a beginner learn options trading?

Yes, but only after learning share market basics and chart reading. Options add pricing, time decay and leverage, so the order of learning matters.

Is F&O trading profitable?

For most individuals, no. SEBI found about 93% of individual F&O traders lost money between FY22 and FY24. The course teaches risk-first methods and does not promise profit.

Do you teach option selling?

We explain how option selling works and its risks, and focus on defined-risk structures. We do not provide strategies as recommendations.

How much capital is needed for options trading?

You need no capital for the course. In practice, capital needs depend on the strategy and exchange margin rules, which we teach you to calculate.
