The study showed that the share of young intraday traders under 30 years increased to 48% in FY23 from 18% in FY19, and 76% of these younger traders incurred losses. Statement D is incorrect because profit-makers were more prevalent in Tier-I cities and among women and married traders, not in Tier-II cities and among unmarried traders. Statement E is incorrect because loss-makers in FY23 spent an additional 57% of their trading losses as trading costs, not 37%.
