That’s just investment income afaik. Pretty sure this is okay so long as you’re not day trading.

The real problem here is that you can't stake your and your family's future on being "pretty sure" that a random immigration bureaucrat will see it that way, so the only sane thing to do is avoid anything with even slight risk. (Or move to Canada.)

Well, I'm pretty sure, but an immigration attorney will be confident :)

I think it would be seen more as manufacturing income.
