Quote from Brass:

The problem with this poll and this thread is that a lot of people don't seem to know or accept the actual definition of the word "gambling," prefering to assign a personal meaning to it that corresponds to a chosen and internalized narrative. Accordingly, there is an apple-and-orange problem here.

Perhaps it would be wise to start over and begin by defining the word and building from there. Then we could all at least understand what we are either agreeing or disagreeing about.



I said this exactly b4.

The poll is not clear.

How can trading be "not gambling" when there is a "win loss ratio"?

In fact, if one has an approach where a "win/loss ratio" makes sense (at trade level), he surely has a wrong approach and is losing $$$ ;-)
