"can't traders also claim paper losses and profits on stocks they still hold at tax time?"
There are different ways to value your trading stock at the end of the financial year to arrive at your "profit or loss" for the year. One is at cost, another method is "at market value". If you think you can "claim paper losses and profits on stocks they still hold at tax time", most likely you have been using the "at market value" method.
Not an advice, just an opinion.
