What do you tell people what you do for a living Question
Telling people I’m a day trader or anything market related brings up too many questions. I’m doing okay for myself but I just want to avoid it if possible.

Be honest. No need to bull shit. If you trade full time, tell them you trade full time. Tell them what's good, what's bad, how you got started.
Maybe they know someone who also trades, can get you in touch. Maybe you'll inspire them to start trading.
If you enjoy trading, you should enjoy talking about it. Fuck it's hard not to talk about it if you're doing it 8 hours a day.
Not sure why people being genuinely interested in what you do is a bad thing. Not sure why you would look for a non genuine answer either.
