Sometimes I'm asked by people what kind of job I had and I was confused as to what the answer is. Is my type of work is an entrepreneur or self-employed?
Thankyou
Thankyou

You are called a Pro Trader.... and you could be self employed or an employ.
When I worked for a Prop firm I was self employed and when I worked for the bank I was like an employ.
No to say that when you work for the bank you can't be self employed or vise versa, it is the structure of the
institution that depends how you are set up.
Now if you trade your own money you are definitely self employed

'Self - employed' is no good because it says nothing, and ' Trader ' means gambler as far as most people are concerned, so I tell people that I buy and sell money, which nearly always gets the " What? " response., to which I reply " I apply fractal geometry and chaos theory to profit from the global currency markets ". to which "ah right!" is the most common response as the conversation immediately dies a death

Have you ever tried explaining it to a child? Not a teenager, a young child? Firstly you have to explain what currency is and why the prices change (supply / demand), then do a crash Maths lesson in decimals and long division using decimals, because they don't do that sort of trivial stuff in schools anymore. They're too busy teaching them Marxist ideologies and that it's perfectly normal for little Alice to have 2 daddies and no mummy.
Then, you say you buy and sell currency but you can sell without buying first, with lots of money that is not your own. Oops, I think most adults would look confused. For all the single traders out there, how do you explain it on a date?
