Forex trading as an international student

[extraguy]

Hello, i am an international student and wanted to know if forex trading is considered self employment. If yes then how are the hours counted?

I usually hold my trades for 10-24 hrs, so will my working hrs be 10-24 hrs?
Ofc i dont sit in front of my computer for these long hrs. I only check on my trades every 2-4 hrs and it takes less than 5 minutes. Sometimes 10 to 30 minutes, it depends.

So how does this counting hrs for self employed international students really work?

What actions have immigration office taken when the working hrs of international students exceeds 20hr?

I will be in British Colombia btw.

I don't think that's consider working unless you are getting paid to invest for a client.
You are just doing your own investment. BUT I am not an expert on this topic. Just my 2cents.

Agree with the above, but I do believe you'll have to report income and pay capital gains on the profits.
