2017 full-time trading tax status question

I’m unemployed but trading my own account full time (stocks, options) this year with a nice low 6 figure realized gain. If I want to make this my full time “employment” so I get social security work credit for my retirement, how should I file my 2017 tax? Can I do 1040SE and report all the trades on Schedule D? Thanks!
