After you file

See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i3115

 

If this constitutes an actual change in accounting method (which I am not sure it does), you would have to file Form 3115, which typically requires professional intervention.

 

Otherwise, I believe you would have needed to provide your broker with instructions at the time of the transactions (and, if not, you cannot alter it at this point).
