I would not consider it the same, gambling is easy you either play dice or select on a outcome that's going to happen but leverage trading is not that simple, many people won't even have any idea what's it about and they may just get in and burn their hands so I would prefer gambling that is easy to understand it's better to face a known adversary than a unknown adversary.

Recently I tried leveraged trading for the first time at Bitmex, and ended up in a loss. It seemed similar to a gamble, where you deposit, place a bet and either win (and double) or lose everything. In leveraged trading, if you deposit & place an order and it reaches your liquidation level, you lose everything.

Gambling can't be compared to regular trading, as in regular trading, you don't win much and don't lose much either. However, if you're trading with leverage, then that trading can be considered something similar to a gamble.

Leveraged trading is essentially borrowing money from the broker and play the bet. It will offer you a certain level of liquidity and once the liquidity is exhausted, your trades get squared off. This is also known as "margin trading" in real world stock market and a very risky proposition.

Even though these are structurally different than conventional gambling, but the end results are very similar to gambling, the game of luck! But leveraged trading comes with a very high risk exposure as compared to conventional gambling.

I only gamble I do not trust the whole leverage trading, If I am going to gamble ill do it right and play cards or poker, Something that I actually have a chance at I have asked several people the same question, and none have ever made really much off of leverage trading..

everyone has a different view on this. and maybe you just see from the point of pleasure. gambling is more fun than leveraged trading. because the risks we get from both are pretty much the same

once I was trying to use leveraged trading in bitmex and I can make a good profit. I think it's not the same as a gamble because if we can buy at the low price and the price is increased, you don't have to close that leveraged trading but you can just let it make the profit for you. and I don't think that if we trade using the leverage it is considered as a gamble too. it depends on what price you buy the coins.

I remember that I can buy bitcoin at the lower price at $3xxx and it's still run until now. and makes a profit for me. although the price is up and down, I still make a profit and I don't want to close it right now.
This is an another case which you do able to purchase bitcoin on 3k range which no matter which angle you would really able to have profits considering on the price we are into now.I cant blame OP do see Leveraged trading is comparable to gambling. Even myself do have that kind of perception or view too towards it. Gamble if you dont know on what you are doing but if its always based up with some analysis then it cant be considered as one.

How can take the leverage trading and gambling in the comparison bro. Then you do not need to check the price changes and marketplace value in the profit consideration too bro. Gambling is personal convenience to play the betting, slot roll and etc to win and loose the profit bro.

I think op take this discussion to wrong section. if you are creating the thread with the news with the gambling dude.
