"1. Increase STT to reduce derivative trades. [--]. Decrease leverage from banks for firms trading derivatives. [--]. Decrease MTF exposures in market for brokers. While all steps may look favorable to retail investors it is definately not in favor of market makers who have been building market for decades. Finally illiquid market will give more power to manipulators and foreign firms with low cost of capital to play the game. We will realise the impact in future. For example STT in cash market has not helped the growth of market ecosystem. It shifted the investors to derivatives. The real problem"
