No, you do not claim unrealized gains. When you sell or dispose of the stocks, bonds or funds, you would then claim the gain.

only traders who make a 475(f) election have to include unrealized gains in their income at year-end. in addition, that election changes the nature of trading profit and loss from capital gain to ordinary income.
