As a full-time trader, what should I put on my business card? I definetely do not get a positive response when I tell people I am a speculator. Most people will relate trading to gambling.

How does professional trader sound? What do you guys think?

I put Private Derivatives Trader.

Professional trader doesnt sound too good. Maybe be more specific like "professional equities trader",

Do traders qualify as financial advisors?

Pretty sure you need to be licensed to be called a financial advisor.

How about professional mouse user?

Nah, that's shady business to some people. Does that fly on your loan apps, BTW?

I like "management consultant". Either that or "quantitative derivatives analyst" or just "derivatives analyst". That's just another way of saying I daytrade futures and commodities for a living.
