Citizenship: Algeria.

Visa: Tourism.

I want to apply for a tourist visa but it isn't clear for my case. I'm a trader/investor in stock markets. I am using a regulated broker online. In my country this activity is not recognized yet and not banned, so I don't pay tax on my income. Therefore I'm not eligible for local health insurance. But I have good income monthly in hard currencies EURO, USD. The broker offer reports as account confirmation and statements. I can simply withdraw any amount to my debit card.

The issue is: can I apply using online documents? Are invesments brokerage statements acceptable to apply for a France visa? If yes, when filling "current occupation" should I mention the address of my home or the broker? Has anyone applied using brokerage statements?

Yes. You can put "Derivatives Trader" or "Trader" as your job description. However, depending on the country, this does not signify legitimate employment (since you'll be lacking health insurance, tax papers, etc...).

If you are applying through France, this will unlikely to be even accepted (in TLS). You'll be told that you are missing documents. Other countries (ie: Netherlands/Sweden) might accept and evaluate these documents.
