SEBI, losses reported by the trainer/institute and the wide gap between success stories advertised online and the audited P&L statements that tell a very different story. The data is shocking -- over 90% of traders lose money with with cumulative losses crossing ₹1 lakh crore in FY25 alone. This video is not a debate, not investment advice — just a grounded, data-backed reality check on what trading really looks like for everyday people.

▸ How the trainer, the institute, and the students collectively booked crores in losses
▸ The gap between marketed success stories and real audited P&L numbers
▸ The psychological traps that make retail traders stick with losing strategies
▸ Red flags in trading courses, mentorships, and “guaranteed” strategies
… and much more
