Do you tell people you're a trader?

I don't tell people what I do, then I make up very entertaining stories about how I got the facial tics, the head twitch, etc.

If they ask just say you're doing independent research for the tax department and they will change the subject rather quickly.
 
Here's a conversation I had not too long ago.

Q:So, What do you do?
A:Oh, I do a lot.

Q: Yes, But how do you make a living?
A: Oh, I'm a peddler.

Q: Peddler?
A: Yeah, buy and sell stuff online. Paper, pigs, coins, that kind of stuff. Things peoploe need and like to collect. :D

Q: Oh, you mean eBay!?
A: Well, I've used them, but their rates are too high. I use some of the other online auction houses... (CME, CBOT...)

Cheer,

Me: "I'm a daytrader"

Them: "man THAT'S risky!"

Me: "Really?. How long you been trading?"


That usually shuts em up good. D :D :D
 
Why not just say you are a manage money from your home office?

of course if you dress like a beach bum and drive a gremlin
they might wonder.

I'm like "I buy and sell stuff over the internet" some people say "ebay?" and I'm like " Ebay rules!" I think everyone thinks I grow drugs in my basement.
 
This is the funnies thead so far on ET.

When people ask me how I am doing, I usually say "I will tell you at the end of the year when I file my tax return".
