First we need to understand the requirement of filing of ITR. ITR means furnishing the information of your income, profits or losses. More than a compliance perspective it is a responsibility of the individual to file his return irrespective of income or loss. If you have filed ITR In previous years you should file for this financial year also otherwise you are non- compliant which is a big no no in eyes of law. Considering the notice it depends on grounds you receive it which as of now cannot be answered due to lack of information . My advice to you would be to file your return and carry forward the loss as this can be beneficial to you in the future

Before you decide your action plan, calculate turnover as per prescribed method.
It is mandatory to disclose loss as PandL and Balance Sheet is compulsory for business income. F&O is business and not speculation activity.

For carry forward , it's your decision to go or not go for it. If it's belated return, you won't get carry forward.
