What do you call yourself?

There are many people out there who trade currencies for a living. I have personally never met anyone who does so other than online of course. Since I have taken up doing this for a living after years and years of trading, failing, blowing accounts, and learning from mistakes (the hard way), I never really knew how to explain to someone what I do as a living.
For example, when you meet someone new they will without a doubt ask you what you do for a living. I've been asked once or twice and was rather awkward in answering because I wanted to sound professional about it instead of simply saying I am a trader/I buy and sell currencies pairs.
Would you call yourself a Technical Analyst, Currency Speculator, Day Trader...and how would you describe what you do, professionally, and to impress?
