How are you defining that?
Interesting, that would be those who have verifiable institutional or hedge fund experience (income), or those those have taken their exams (capital). The same as an accredited investor with $200k per year each of the two most recent years (income) or $1mn net worth excluding primary residence (capital). Why do I get the feeling that I'm the only one who knows these things.
No such thing. Maybe you're confused, and thinking of "accredited investors"?

If you are asking members here to disclose their income or saving level, that will never happen. A fair question would be, How would you describe yourself trading business.
Full time or part trader/investor for:
- Yourself
- Hedge Fund
- CTA
- CPO
- JBO Prop firm
- Traditional Prop firm
- Authorized trader for an Investor
- IT function
- Sales
- other
Obviously, my profile provides transparency. I'm an X-member of the American Stock Exchange that was an Options Market Maker with my own BD for 25 years, followed by a full time sales role. It would be nice if others shared,

No confusion but I do understand yours, perhaps you can show everyone the entity that regulates accredited investors.
Why would I want that, however that is the point, unless people have accredited work experience at an institution, or they have accredited exams, then it is self-certified and completely worthless. So far I'm not seeing anyone with either, and I know where to look because I have both.
Not sure why anyone would care about this stuff. You didn't provide a reason. Unless it's from a failed trader. On this forum, I don't give a fuck what other people do. Like I said in another post, their failure/success does not mean my own. As far as I'm concerned, everyone on this site are 95% loser until proven otherwise.
If this forum had "job opportunity" listings or listing thru a 3rd party job listing site along with traders using their real names in their forum profiles...
Members would disclose such private info about themself.
Yet, someone that trades their own capital and obviously not seeking employment at some financial institution (public or private) its not worthless. Just may be worthless to the person asking such questions in hopes someone will disclose such info.
Regardless, lots of 3rd party sites that those you seek are using but those sites are not orientated as a "forum". Thus, they are more professional is their listing of such information.
Simply, I've met a few here that do have professional backgrounds but they are not hear to share that info. Instead, they have already posted their info at professional (business) social networking sites that have an interest in new opportunities to grow their careers.
Seriously, this is arguably the number one "trader forum" and there was a post a few years back that someone ask members to share their professional backgrounds, business associations and such...it only generated 5 replies while having hundres of views.
Best you use a social network site specifically dedicated for its users disclosing, sharing that type of info considering you stated you already know where to go elsewhere to find such type of info.
Those sites are much better at protecting your privacy and you the odds are high that those viewing your background info may be interested in helping you to advance your career. In contrast, sites like Elitetrader.com may be a nightmare for HR departments while some businesses may have rules in place that specifically tell employees not to be sharing any info about what they do at forums like this.
