F1 OPT visa day trading

Can a person employed and having above stated visa can get involved in day trading ?

Some one just told me recently that your visa allows you to primarily focus on your primary job. So if you are involved in day trading that means you are doing multiple jobs and can cause issues later

@CHOOOCHAYY, why are you so harsh on him? There are no dumb questions. That is something you need to learn in this country. World with people asking dumb questions are miles better than world with aholes calling names immediately for such questions.

You kidding? I have been doing trading since I was a student in us... I hope you don’t mean to become a day trader? That’s separate Job.. or you want to buy stocks and do trading...

There is difference between trading and day trading if you are not aware. I’m specifically asking about day trading

This is not a dumb question. Day trading falls in a grey area for H1 visa(from what I heard).For F1 I'm not sure,maybe consult a lawyer instead of relying on comments here

It’s still not clear but stay clear from day trading. Swinging it is safe of course.
