Broking firms Groww and Samco Securities have introduced innovative features to encourage responsible trading practices among retail investors in the derivatives market.

These initiatives are accompanied by educational programs that aim to improve financial literacy and promote awareness of responsible trading.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has implemented stricter regulations for equity derivatives trading.

These regulations include reducing the number of weekly options contracts available for trading to one per exchange and increasing the minimum trading amount to Rs 15-20 lakh, up from the previous Rs 5-10 lakh.

Sebi has also introduced measures such as intra-day monitoring of position limits, upfront collection of option premiums, the removal of calendar spread benefits on expiry day, and enhanced tail risk coverage.

These changes are intended to create a more secure trading environment for investors.
