W8 BEN form filing - Out of US but holding H1B status

On April 2016 returned to home country(India) from US (H1B valid till 2018). As I'm eligible to file I.T for 2016 yr till my april stay, can I eligible to file W8BEN form. As I m doing forex trading from my country using the Bank account of US now, this trading comp wants me to file this W8 as they are not allowing US residents in this trading. Can you advise me if I can file W8 or should hold up? thanks for any advise on this.
