It seems your main concern here is earning money as a K.  All you need to know is as long as you pay taxes on whatever money you earn- you will have no issues. You can pay the taxes to the US, to India, to whoever- as long as you can show you paid and it was all reported properly- you will have no issues with the IRS or USCIS. 

 

 Also you said something like a K can not have income before EAD? That is incorrect. A K can have income- a K does not have work authorization. You can have passive income with out working.  Now I have no idea if USCIS would consider stock trading to be 'employment' or some type of passive income but it does not matter. Even if they decided it was 'working'- working with out auth is NOT a bar to adjusting for a K visa holder. So there are no issues with any of this immigration side. The only thing is USCIS will want to see all your income has been reported and IRS stuff properly filed so find a CPA who is knowledgeable with both international issues and whatever it is you are doing with the stock market. 

Awesome, thank you so much
