Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

So poker is just luck?

 

I believe that it is indeed gambling. Above, I spent probably 10 minutes of my life writing 4 paragraphs illustrating the utter lack of difference between certain gambling games, and trading.

Been there, done that, never again! What a disaster it turned out to be.

 

Probability.
If your saying of outcome is not certain means 50% win or loss chance, you shouldn't enter a trade. IN another words, you should establish a strategy that gives you better chance of wining over losing, otherwise it is gambling for sure.

 

Quah...you are truly missed

 

Well not entirely. But luck does play an important part. Rest its all about personal views.

 

Well, traders can be addicted too but in the direction of career, not as gambling.

 

Maybe traders are addicted to rollercoaster emotions, maybe the sort of people who get easily bored with life if there is no drama or stress.

 

So... if a trader wants to make a "quick buck" but calculates the probabilites of his trade is he "not gambling"?
