Trading involv risk but needs skill
IMO, yes, when something which you can’t control and include profit and loss (in money), I will count is as gamble…
if in that way then what business you are doing that is also gambling , because most of the products are in commodity so their is always full fluctuations in your business products but that dont mean that you are doing gambling,
Gambling means expecting high like jackpot to become millionaire in a day
Trading means doing profit slowly and steadily which gives you constant profit but small.
actually what I think is ''life is a gamble'' too,
no one can tell what will happened after your study,
no one can 100% sure to tell you will have a good job after you finished your Uni...
and no one can tell can you still open your eyes after you go to bed tonite
no need to bring that wide open meaning of gamble here. you have just gone too far that miss the thread. plus, your example is weird, i mean, read it for yourself.
Trading is quite similar to gambling but in that sense every business has a risk factor which makes it gambling itself. Whether you gamble by playing games or invest in a new business, you are risking your money which may lead to a loss but gambling is always looked down upon and not a business as you are using your skill and knowledge while investing in a business. Gambling is just a prediction/luck based game.
To some extent I too feel that trading and gambling are same kind. If we don't have any knowledge about trading/gambling, you can end up losing. In trading, our loss can be less but it's not the case with gambling. Also, trading is considered a legal and appropriate way of earning whether in forex/stock markets or bitcoin trading but gambling is not right. Addiction in gambling is the worse part.

In all points of view, trading is gambling. Both has risk and you can gained and loss money at the same time.
The only difference by doing trading and the usual types of gambling here in gambling section is, trading is worth to try with risk compare to by playing the usual gambling type.

Trading is not gambling, but there is a style of lots people do trade like gamble.
Take position randomly only hopes the price going up and get profit = gamble trade style.
But usually "real" trading required an analysis skills, experience etc to make profit regularly. Not random.

If you don't have proofs/evidence for your trading choices and only doing it almost randomly then it's just gambling, if you are doing it according to decent analysis then I think it's someway in between gambling and real trading.
Yes I do its a risky and you need luck to gain profit at trading so think its the same as gambling, its not the same category but its almost the same yes.
It also depends on how you trade because you can also trade very safe so I do not consider that as gambling.

yes i consider trading as gambling,but not all types of trading are same as gambling.
I think for binary trading I assume it was a gamble. You do not need a lot of skill to play in binary
yeah, i think this is what secondtrade is offering as a gambling game if i am not mistaken. but i know there are games that you bet on the price of bitcoin and other things to see if it goes up or down and take the bet.
but those games should not be mistaken with trading bitcoin or trading altcoins.
if the predictions made for a short time. such as 1 or 2 minutes is tantamount to gambling
in trading there are chart and analysis, if gambling it is based on pure luck
so i dont think its the same
Do you think that market charts are actually always correct? Don't we had major crises, economic recessions, major flops of known companies in the past?so i dont think its the same
And we had really unknown company from nowhere rise to power in short time. Some things cannot be predicted by reason.
There is probably much more money to be made in stocks if you can take on the big boys sure but sports bettings and poker will contain much weak money. Very dumb people dont usually trade stocks but they do gamble.

I guess not, trading can be done by putting up prices and guess the price, but it depends on you alone, because you're the one who put up the price and they will buy it with their own volition without being forced, in contrast to gamble risking anything and if you lose, you can not take your money back

yes, trading is a gambling activity too since trading involved predictions for the next outcome. But trading is accepting in some countries while they arent allowed gambling activities. So, most countries considered trading isnt gambling and in my opinion trading is gambling.

Well it's not the same. Yes maybe they have many similar things between but trading can be manipulated (like house manipulate dices) but for people who are into it they can recognize and earn on that. If u think that watching news and reading, reading, predicting is not boring then try it :-)
Hey people,
I've always been a huge gambler. I like creating useless schemes (as we all know bank always win ^^) and betting whole nights long in order to find THE right way of betting.
But I need change, I can't bet over and over on the same game cause after I see that nothing can be done to change the odds, I'm bored.
So I thought a bit about trading and I started not so long ago. and it feels a bit like a betting game without knowing the odds and with an infinity of parameters!
Does anyone else takes trading as a gambling game?

i personaly don't consider trding like gambling just because in gambling you need more luck than skills, when you're trading, if you're skilled you have an advantage
