Is speculation loss / short term capital loss better or long

I HAVE RENTAL INCOME OF 3,00,000/- ANNUALY. PLUS I ALSO DO DAY TRADING (SPECULATION) + OCCASIONLY DELIVERY BASED TRADING (STT PAID IN BOTH CASES)

IF LONG TERM CAPITAL LOSS IS NOT CARRY FORWARD / ADJUSTABLE AGAINST LTCG, THEN, SHOULD I BOOK LOSS NOW AS IT STILL 2 MONTHS SHORT. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING SHORT TERM PROFIT OF RS. 2,700/- (SPECUALTION + DELIVERY) IN 2016 - 2017.

I HAVE OTHER INCOME OF APPROX RS. 40,000/- + SAVING INTEREST OF ABOUT RS. 3,000/-.
