I don't discuss my income earning with any immigration officer of any country I enter, other than Canada. I'm not going to tell them that I work under the table in China, especially if it is a country that has a problem with people doing that exact thing.
I've only been asked once directly in recent memory. This was in Malaysia about a month ago. I told the officer that I don't work anywhere and that I have investments and savings that pay my expenses. He didn't make a big deal about it.
I told an immigration officer re-entering the USA the same thing basically that you did in Malaysia. I was pulled aside for a bag search and I was coming back from Sweden.
I would just say you're a currency trader. They're probably not gonna ask where you work.
