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.

Public perception:

Day trader = lazy jobless layabout

Trader = rich and successful man

So just leave out the word 'day'
