Actually that's what I'm trying to say. Trading is a very dynamic art. Very often when one door closes, another much better door opens up. Smart money always finds it way.
Yes but this cuts down the avenues in which one can trade as a retail trader. Smart money will find a way and it can find its way outside India too. And recent past is a standing example of that. Of course there are other macros involved but all said and done things like shutting down sgx line, LTCG, crazy lot sizes on futs./opts. etc have been instrumental in this.
And the question here is to what end is this being done ? There have been hundreds of corporate scams which need unearthing. Vakrangee, Manpasand beverages etc have been classic examples. Instead of working on these things and putting a framework in place to prevent this, SEBI is more worried about changing lot sizes and putting up delivery for metal contracts.
