Morning Brief Podcast: How wall street algos are eating Indian options traders’ lunch?

ET Markets Podcast - The Economic Times

In recent times, Indian holders of derivatives have faced significant financial losses, a concern that has caught the attention of the government and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. This situation intriguingly intersects with the Wall Street-based hedge fund Jane Street Group, which is currently embroiled in lawsuits involving two of its employees and rival Millennium Management Global Investment. In this episode of The Morning Brief from the Economic Times, hosts Anirban Chowdhury and Nikhil Agarwal delve into three critical questions: Why are small options traders losing money in India? Are larger financial players profiting at their expense? And how is the practice of daily expiry contributing to the challenges faced by small investors? Join us as we unpack these complex issues with Rahul Sharma, Head of Technical & Derivative Research, JM Financial Services Ltd & Chetan Panchamia, Index Options Expert & Trader.
