Actually, trading is not too risky as gambling except if you are trading on leverage which is very risky compared to spot trading.
The difference is if you lose in spot trading you only lose a few percent of your holdings compared to betting where you can lose them all.
You have more chance to make a profit in trading if you have knowledge about trading analysis while gambling is always based on your luck.

Gambling is gambling, trading is trading. They are not the same, but both are very risky. If gambling, you may not have much to learn, there are varieties of gambling games that is very easy, but if you want to trade, you have to learn it. If I should choose one, I would prefer trading, but the losses can be the same for newbies, even many people that is trading for over a long time can still be losing.
Use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to trade or gamble.

Gambling is betting something valuable on an uncertainty outcome right? Isn't this the same with Trading?/i mean even pro traders said out of 10 trades you can lose 4 and win 6, is this not a form of gambling? I had this argument with few of my friends that are traders some hours ago and I will like to here from you all what hou think about this.
