    what is the reason for this change? This will discourage retailers and bring down the liquidity, so will we see less volatility in Nifty?

        Good morning Bramesh Sir,

        Do you know why SEBI is revising the contract size? Do they want to exclude all small players like me from the F&O market and give oppurtunities only to FII,DII and HNI?

          90% retail traders lose money trading leverage, Its good to increase lot size and hence will reduce speculation in market.
