how can the very frequent day trading results be given?

the option trading involved same day to several day trades; how can these be documented if the 1090B form doesn't report the individual trades?

Regarding stock and options, for Box A and Box D, only wash sales or other adjusted transactions have to be itemized on Form 8949.

 

The other transactions without adjustments can be aggregated. Report the sub-totals of cost and proceeds for those transactions on Schedule D Line 1a or Line 8a respectively.

If you have no wash sales, there will be no form 8949, No attachment is necessary. No mailing is necessary

If you traded the same option frequently, you probably generated many Wash Sales.

That complicates reporting.
