Topic: Can trading be considered as gambling?? - page 43. (Read 21308 times)
They can be sort of considered the same cause they are both business or investment which you hope for something good in return and take a risky step. What I love about gambling is that you know your fate in time. While trading may take days or months before you know your fate.
I once read an article that said that trading would be a gambling game, when you do not know how the system works, and if you're just relying on luck. Well, the actual trading is a technique of analysis, you can predict where prices will be achieved on a coin, or the market price. and I think that it is a true statement.
i guess there is too much similarities between both trading and gambling then people consider each are the same thing. what makes me interesting are there few people only says "can gamble considered as trading?" .if you think with that way you will find the actual answer.
i think not, because trading is a kind of business and assets that can be considered here.
while in gambling this is the place where the gambler finding there luck in the games or
some's are just doing just fun and entertainment only because they are elite type of people.

There are different and trading is somehow considered as a job and gambling isn't. It's easy to distinguish their similarities and differences. But if you are a trader probably you are also into gambling when you are kind of bored with your trades, you are doing something for it. There are some consider trading as gambling and vice versa.

Yes for those who do not know well about the strategies and do not have knowledge may involve in the same way as if they are gambling. But sometime I think that they may also win some profit but not sure that anyone will win any amount in gambling. As in gambling you will totally rely on the will of the software that what it decide for the future of your invested money in gambling.

Yes, trading is like gambling in many ways. First of, like in gambling no one can actually predict what will happen next. In gambling it's about what number you will roll or what card will appear next. In trading it's about which coin will be pumped today and which will be dumped. Second, like in gambling, the higher the amount of money you risk in trading the higher your profit might be in case your predictions were right ones.
If you think like that then i have to say that any form of investment is like gambling.When it comes to trading you have to consider the fundamentals and the future prospects if you are planning to invest a serious amount of money and that is not the case with gambling as gambling is pure luck and does not have any fundamentals.Trading is meant to earn profit. If someone would treat it as only for fun then that person is really just wasting his money on anything he wants. In trading, luck is very optional to have. What will help you the best is your skills and strategy from it. Unlike in gambling you can only rely on luck for you to win. Whatever the strategy you use it won't work in a long time because the house will immediately notice it.

I think if you trade on basis of your own skills, analize market, etc. before making decisions than this is not gambling.
Luck is important part of many activities, but that doesn't mean that every enterprinier or trader can be considered as gambler.

that's right every time that you place an entry you should be equipped of knowledge regarding to this business its okay if you are a first timer but if you already done it before you should do more on research about the trade that you will be entering with, the more information you have the more chances of succeeding and earning good profits.
i think not, because trading is a kind of business and assets that can be considered here.
while in gambling this is the place where the gambler finding there luck in the games or
some's are just doing just fun and entertainment only because they are elite type of people.

It all depends on how you trade, if you like trading with a lot of leverage, and just trade on gut feeling only without having ever read a book about it, then yes I'd say you're basically gambling at that point. However if you've got a lot of experience and trade with your own money then it can be a steady source of income so I wouldn't call it gambling.
Hi BigBoom3599,
thanks for the point about the leverage trading scenario. I didn't think about that, good stuff. Leverage trading definitely has a higher risk to reward ratio so it would be considered "Gambling" in a sense.
For those that don't know what leverage trading is:
Leverage trading allows an individual to trade 0.01 Bitcoin (BTC) with a broker while that 0.01 BTC gets counted as if it was 0.10 BTC. So even though the person only entered the trade with 0.01 BTC, that person could lose/win Bitcoins within seconds after entering the trade.

Researching and calculating the spread allows a less chance of failure.
Leverage trading is considered "Trading" so technically that isn't called "Gambling" but you could grasp the idea.
Trading normally is the proper method to make money if you know what you're doing. Remember to be careful because anything could happen and don't use your whole life-savings gambling/trading.
I do not understand about trading but in my opinion is very different from gambling. because basically gambling is risky and can not use any tricks. different from a trading using calculations subuah
If you are just differentiating trading and gambling with risk maybe you can check it again because they are both risky. But they are totally different on how it goes gambling is a fast game of money where the chances of losing is fast too but in trading you need to use your skills and knowledge upon on how market moves.Yes that makes trading easier way to get profit because we know that in gambling chances of winning is like 30/70 but in trading you have more chances of getting profit depending on how you are going to apply those skills you got. I prefer to trade for the profit and I prefer to gamble when I just wanted to have some fun it yet both had risk.
