TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa approval for trading can vary by embassy. While trading is not typically recognized as a freelancing activity, having a registered company can strengthen an application. Some embassies may approve DTVs for online investors, so applicants should provide clear proof of trading activities, including a letter from their company if applicable. It is important to note that demonstrating liquid assets of 500,000 baht is required, and showing profits from trading alone may not be sufficient.

If you have a buisness or LLC for it yes with history meaning showing transactions and profits maybe but they have in their website that stocks and bonds are not enough to show the required 500k baht needed keep that in mind.

Must be liquidated assets ( money ) in an account

Set up a company and trade from that

Some embassies have approved DTVs for online investors. Check the main DTV group on FB for posts from such applicants.

Trading doesn't count as a freelancer. At least to some embassies.

Unless you work for a trading house that will write you a letter to let you work remote.

But if you setup a company you can write yourself a letter as the boss saying you can work remote etc.
