Are you trying to trade on margin? Investment money is investment money, if they keep prying, I would tell them to pound sand and move on, plenty of places would be happy to manage your money.

Thank the Patriot Act.
All finacial institutions are required to better know their customers, to a degree that today I often joke about not being required to show three forms of ID to spend cash.
Read up on the laws their are limits to how much they can ask once you prove your source of funds is legal and has been fully taxed!
There are too many holes in the UIGEA and state laws for them to "discriminate" against you because you "gamble" for a living.
If you are uncomfortable with thier questions, and your assertions of legality and up to dateness of your tax status, I have quite a few former co-workers I can recomend to you in the field that will not only treat you right but have a much better ability to develop the relationship nessecary for this "partnership" of investor and investment proffesional to be sucessful.
D$D<--I would in no way profit from any such referal(s).
