Hey ! I am an aspiring options trader , I graduated in 2019  and do not have any job currently. I am researching and attending classes to find the path of being a trader and learning stuff about markets practically. I have been investing lately also. Will this count as a self employed sort of thing as a work experience in CAT?

No, it wont count as work experience.

If i earn, if i generate income through trading, still that wont count as self employed ? and count in as work ex?

Hi Shruti,

As far as i am aware, it wouldn't be valid under "Work experience". CAT considers only full time experience in a company and not even internship can be counted for work experience.
