Traders who operate in a short-term capacity must pay a 28% capital gains tax on their earnings. To get to the taxable amount, subtract your losses from the profits.
Most taxpayers pay a higher rate on their income than they would if they sold off any long-term capital gains. When the tax on the profit is lower, it gives them a financial incentive to keep assets for at least a year.
Traders who profit from the convenience and speed of trading online must be aware that any profits they earn from buying and selling assets held for less than a year are taxed at a higher rate.
The taxable gain for the year may be decreased by the total capital losses incurred throughout that year. 
To put it another way, your tax is calculated on the net capital gain. There's a $3,000 maximum per year for reported losses; however, unrecovered losses can be carried forward to future years.
