Foreign Exchange Rate to use for Tax

Hi guys,
I have made some short term profits this year on the US stock market and need to declare my gains to SARS.
Now my questions do I need to use a daily rate when I did the trade or can I use SARS's average rate for the period?
Thanks!

I've always used the average because it's so much easier, but I believe you're allowed to choose, so I'd use whichever means I'd pay less tax!

Calculate your gains/losses in USD and then convert to ZAR.
