You Full-Time Traders - What is it you call yourself?

My first and biggest concern would be to make sure that I'm making a profit. If I'm making money at it, I don't care what anyone thinks. They can call me a bum, a parasite, a recluse, anything they want.

How about a technical analysist, a technical trader or a commodities trader. I don't think you'd want to call yourself a swing trader. I used to take a book titled "Swing Trading" with me to read while I was with the moms waiting for my kids at dance lessons. It took me a while before I figured out why a lot of the moms were giving me dirty looks.

"Market technician" is more refined than that - just don't put chartered in front of it or else you'll get in trouble for implying you have a CMT designation.

Just trader or market technician works for me.

If you tell them you are a daytrade they think you are a gambler

I would rather say I am a trader , than a broker. First because I am not a broker since I don't sell financial products to clients, and second, a broker is just another type of salesman.
