Specifically, if an individual has an ordinary loss from a business or other trade, it can be deducted against ordinary income, which may include capital gains.

No, net operating losses (NOLs) generally cannot offset capital gains. NOLs primarily offset ordinary income, while capital gains are treated separately for tax purposes.
