1)Whether to treat these Transactions as Business income or Speculation income.
2)If it is Business income then whether to rely on Turnover basis or total profit basis for Tax Audit Purpose.

For the purpose of determining the turn over of "futures and options" for tax audit purposes, the absolute value of profit and loss need alone be considered.
