Does F1 need to file CG tax?

Hi, everyone:

I have an urgent question regarding the tax filing. I'm an F1 student and don't have any income last year. But I started to invest in the stock market last July. My questions are:

1. I read from the local Chinese newspaper that foreigners don't need to pay tax for capital gains. Is it true?
2. Scottrade sent me the detailed transactions during last year, but there is no information about gain or loss in my account. Should I calculate the gain or loss based on cash balance or account balance?
3. If the calculation shows I have a loss on Dec.31,2003, which I believe so, should I include it in my tax return form?

Any idea is welcomed,especially if you had been in the same situation before. Thank you very much.
