There should not be any income reported on your Schedule C for self-employment tax to be calculated.  The Schedule C should only be used to report your business expenses, not your income.

Your gains/losses should either be reported on Schedule D and Form 8949 or Form 4797 if you are covered under a Mark-to-Market election.  

Take a look at the following TurboTax help article for more information:
