ATO guidelines essentially just expect a trading business… number of trades doesn’t have to be huge, but a business like operation with adequate record keeping and trading strategy would be a minimum.
You could be on 200k per year and operate a trading business that generates a fraction of that.
It is possible to switch from investor to trader… and effectively bring in “opening stock” of old investments…. which could then be sold and written off against income and not capital gains… but you’d have to demonstrate at least some record of currently running a trading business.
If you conveniently switch back to investor next year it would also likely raise flags.
Note: Former CPA… but not a tax accountant. Always get professional advice.
