Under what line do I claim business losses related specifically to day trading activity? These losses are not capital.

This is short term intraday trading. Full time work and not long term investments that would fall under capital gains and losses.

A day trader is a person who makes his living buying, selling and managing these transactions. A person who works in the investment industry and makes frequent short-term investment turnovers, such as a stockbroker, for example, may be considered a day trader as well.
