The best practices for securing a trading account are as follows:
- Never share the login ID, password, or 2FA authentication with anyone.
- Do not trade based on tips from WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, Twitter, etc., without completely understanding the product and risks.
- If advisors are involved, ensure they have an investment advisor license and look it up on the SEBI website.
- Do not trade in leveraged products like options without completely understanding the risks.
