I'm an intellectual stunt double. If you're at a party talking it up and you gradually slide from astoundingly cerebral to falling down drunk, I will fill in for you.
 
Hahaha.. I like this question. But i hate people asking me what do i do.

Most people ask me this question too. Anyway, i;m full time trader.

When people ask me this question i said i don't do anything. nor working.

(apologies to Gordon Gekko!)

...does that make me a magician, sorceror, or wizard? :)

Seriously, I trade parttime now, so I still call myself a "consultant" and use all my "consulting" titles. But as to down the road if I go into trading fulltime? I dunno, I'd still use "consultant" since I'd still do some consulting work .... but for that matter, does it really matter what we call ourselves?

Independent Trader?
Founder, MyOwn Capital Advisors?
....name your own title. :)
 
Whats the big deal with telling people you are a trader. Screw them if they think less of you!

These people can go back to kissing their managers ass everyday for a promotion!!. Not the life I would want!
