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

Quote from antincedo:

soo what do you say to your friends and family or people you encounter who ask the age old question ''what do you do?''

Say you play a video game. Be creative and make up a name for it.
 
Lived in Hawaii twenty years and was never asked that question.

I remember a good joke:
Local boy said he saw a TV discussion about a possible four day workweek “and me and my buddies talked it over, and we don’t mind working another day.”
 
Just tell people your job is to sell the market to new lows whenever you can.

That should go over well, given todays market environment. Plus make sure to brag that you are making more money than you could have ever dreamed of, while their 401k's have gone to shit.
 
Quote from ksonsinc:

I tell the people i am a stock broker for a private equity firm and i only trade on the firm,s behalf
If you tell them you are a daytrade they think you are a gambler
While a Stock Broker get more request :)

True.

But those in the know know that a stock broker is actually just a salesman. The only difference is they sell stocks rather than cars or insurance.
 
i'm a proud trader and i say i'm a trader, then quote ayn rand regarding the noblest profession in the world and bla bla bla.

people think i make lots of money and i'm boring, i don't for what they think
