That is the big difference. In gambling you lose it instantly while in trading there is this last minute that you can save your coins from plunging down. There would still be something left better than nothing.a
Well that doesn't always work. I know that's the point and it should be like that, but sometimes the market goes completely against you and you end up losing everything as well. No point in closing the trade, because it's the same as losing all the stack you were using. I'm not a very good example because I sucked at trading and stoped, but I ended up losing entire stacks not because I did not follow my exit strategy, but because the market just went completely the wrong way and there was nothing left to do than accepting a complete lost, like a "normal bet".
