TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV visa in Thailand, it's advisable to be prepared to show proof of financial stability even if you're currently unemployed and earning through online trading. While it's uncertain if you need to provide proof upfront, it is suggested that you be ready to demonstrate your ability to support yourself during your stay, such as maintaining a bank balance of at least 500,000 Thai baht. Experiences shared by others indicate that some applicants were not asked for documentation regarding income when they declared freelance earnings.

I put free lance under $20,000 and they didn’t ask for anything and got accepted

They may want to see proof of how you can support yourself for the period of the visa but its probably best not to give that up front and wait for them to ask if they want to see it
