Can F&O trading loss can be set off against sole proprietorship(with GST) income can be st F

I'm a sole proprietor with GST registration. I have made losses in F&O trading in the stock market. So do I have to carry forward my loss or can I set off against my proprietor's income?

Note:- Im not a salaried individual. My income source is my sole proprietorship. It's really confusing about the speculative and non-specualtive income terms. Please clarify.

Quick Summary
If you're a sole proprietor registered for GST and have incurred losses in F&O trading, you can typically set these off against your main proprietorship business profits. This is because both F&O trading and your proprietorship business are generally considered non-speculative. Intraday trading is speculative, while delivery-based transactions are usually treated as capital gains.

Loss from F&O can be set off with your normal proprietary business profit, as both are non-speculative businesses.
