I would be speaking to the ATO to assure yourself you meet the criteria. There are lots of people who try to play the I am a trader, now an investor, now a trader game. They have little time for this. If it's legitimate, you have no issues claiming the discount. I get the impression your accountant doesn't endorse what you are doing.

The safest way to get around this issue is to say put your investment assets in a "family trust" and and do your trading say in your own name or a PTY LTD My opinion only
