If the assets are held for investment, then yes of course. I am not sure why an accountant couldn't provide this advice.

Are you sure you meet the definition of a "trader". 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.
