How to enter Day Trading info into TurboTax.

[KeithA008]

I have a self employed business that has nothing to do with Day Trading and I was able to load all the information for the self employed business without a problem. Now how and where do I enter the information about the Day Trading? I was able to download the T5008 info from CRA and went through all the trades and called them investments. How do I go about getting this information to show up on Line 13499 and 13500?

Thank you for any help.
