I am proud to call myself a gambler.
When I see people scurrying off to their little rat holes every day from 9am to 5pm to serve their masters, I smile. When I see them in the street I make a point of telling them how i gamble for a living and what an easy life I have as a result.
The look of incredulity on their wizened faces makes me smile, especially when I tell them that my earnings are not subject to tax.
You should only be ashamed of being a gambler when you are a loser who takes punts.
Profitable systematic gamblers should be proud of their ability to beat the system.
You dont sound like much of a trader to me mate.I suspect you dont really make any money.. most of the traders I have known and worked with have a humble attitude to the markets and that is what helps them remain profitable over a long period of time.
