a professional trader is quite different than a market maker. professional traders, who likewise are licensed broker/dealers, do not trade for customers. they do not make markets.

Very few pro traders are registered. Why have that damning status? So the FBI can kick your door down weekly?

Pro traders work for institutions or individuals. Think of Gecko's option trader. (the fat greasy guy who feigned humping when he scalped a teeny on K contracts)
