Yes, you can considered it as business transaction, but if the case is futures and options commodities investment then only Gross gain + Gross loss shall be the turnover.
For example you purchased 1 gram gold and sold it later by this transaction you get Rs.500 gain
and another you purchased 1 gram gold and sold it later by this transaction you get Rs.200 loss.
Then your total turnover is 500+200 for the purpose of income tax however net gain is Rs.300(500-200).
