A lot of channels are reporting that SEBI may ban weekly expiries and retain only monthly expiries.

It might take me some time to adapt to this change. How are you planning to adjust your trading strategies if this goes through?

This is a crucial step toward restoring investor confidence in India’s capital markets and mutual funds.

The ongoing manipulation allegations in the derivatives segment not only impacts intraday retail traders but also distorts the valuations of stocks held by mutual funds—affecting millions of retail investors who trust these instruments for long-term growth.

This elephant in the room needs to be addressed and brought to an end for the greater good of India’s Capital MArket investing ecosystem.

A perceived erosion of confidence in the ability of India’s capital market regulators to consistently safeguard investment valuations could be one of the factors prompting some long-term Foreign Institutional Investors to gradually withdraw their investments from the country.

I think rather than taking the drastic step of banning weekly expiries, they should do it gradually and move it to biweekly first to see how it works and then later think about moving to monthly based on the biweekly scenario. This will help traders to adjust their strategies.

There is no backtesting available for bimonthly, even if we work hard and fine tune a strategy, these people will come again to ban it.( onlysix months ago they banned daily expiry)
See the higher ups plan is to retain only monthly expiry ,even if they bring bimonthly expiry they will ban it shortly.
I do not know whether they can ban monthly expiry. if possible they will do that also.
What they want is clear ,they want money in banks as FD as bank deposits are abysymally low.
They want to increase deposits in bank, they will do anything to achieve that .Unless GOD interferes. we can only pray to GOD to save expiry traders.

You are wrong. They want to keep people hooked on subsidies and free food so as to maintain vote bank and also stopping people from getting rich because who will work factories and sweep streets then?
