An Uber driver from Mumbai recently revealed how he lost ₹2.5 lakh in a matter of weeks through high-risk options trading. Lured by quick-profit social media influencers and market hype, he ended up draining his emergency funds and dipping into his savings — without understanding the risk he was taking.
The Reality Behind Retail Options Trading
Retail investors are increasingly entering complex instruments like F&O (Futures and Options) without proper education or financial literacy.
According to recent market data:
Over 90% of retail traders in F&O segments incur net losses
Social media hype around “zero to crore” trading is rarely backed by real data
Lack of risk management is the #1 cause of retail wipeouts
His Words of Caution:
“It looked like easy money at first. I watched YouTube, joined a Telegram group… and in two weeks, I was down ₹2.5 lakh. Please don’t do what I did.” — Uber driver, anonymous
