Yes, it only has similarities in terms of risks, although in everyone's view, of course, it is different, not completely the same. If a gambler is good at gambling, he should not play futures trading or vice versa, if a trader, don't try to play gambling because of course it will be very difficult to win, so both have differences. how to play but can be played by each skill.
There is no need to distinguish between the two because they both have the same risk, it's just that sometimes what distinguishes the two is how to play and the players, don't say futures trading is risky if you are a gambler, never say that gambling is very risky if you are a trader, so just play with what you have the ability of either of the two.
I grasp your viewpoint, yet allow me to illustrate a parallel. Picture trading and gambling as two dogs. One is a disciplined service dog; the other, a feral hound. Would we expect identical behavior because they're both canines?
Futures trading is the service dog - regimented, strategic, seasoned with some educated forecasting. On the other hand, gambling is akin to the feral hound, erratic and at the whim of fate.
Absolutely, everyone should adhere to their expertise - their 'dogs', per se. But, just as a pastry chef differs from a sushi master, despite both being in the food business, each arena requires distinct skills, risks, and rewards. Bear in mind, the market has amnesia. Don't misconstrue yesterday's windfall as today's skill.
