If day-trading US stocks is your main source or only source of income, then it may be safer for you to declare it under "trade income". Alternatively, you may seek advice from your own tax advisor.βββ

There is a pattern day trader rulings for daytrade in US market. To avoid getting flagged, you can either
1) have 25k cash in your trading account
2) join a propieraty trading firm that can margin/leverage your account to bypass the rules (usually more expensive for fees and services)
