you tell your boss that you have jury duty, and you report as required.

There are several ways, none of which you will like.
Get a gun. Take it to a bank. Do a stick up. Make sure you get caught. I guarantee that will get you out of jury duty. It will also get you out of the stock trading business.
When you get your jury questionnaire, answer questions in such a way that the judiciary will not want you.
For example ... there's a question asking if you are a US citizen ... anwwer "No, I am an illegal alien."
the border patrol will come and pick you up and kick you out of the country. I guarantee after that you will not have to serve jury duty, but you will also have a hard time getting as good a living as you now are getting
Use your imagination ... there are lots of other ways to get out of jury duty, but they all have other consequences that will not be to your liking

Why would you want to avoid jury duty? I guess there are heaps of reasons why one would not want to show up for it, but it is your duty, learn a bit about it, ask others about their experiences, very few people who are on jury duty actually get to sit on a jury.... if that's what you are scared of, and if you are, you are given instruction.
This is usually a once in a lifetime occurance, do your duty.

I am pretty sure that military has an opt out because of the work they do...
every employment should be FORCED to respect jury duty so that people do not feel the need to LIE and escape from jury duty..

Work is not a valid excuse for evading jury duty. Health problems and other related emergencies are the only valid excuses.

Why can't you go to jury duty? Will the stock market close down without you?

i had to get my boss out of jury duty today. i wrote a letter to the jury comissioner's office that she will be out of the country indefinitely.
i got myself out of jury duty once because i was moving out of state.
both excuses are true, you can use these, or make something up.
