Breakout read it again.....a gambler/trader with an edge can make money.....but when you take a bet in the direction the market is going you are in fact gambling that the direction goes in your favor...you can call it what you want....but in my book you are placing a bet (ie. gambling ).......can you have an edge sure can that edge make you money sure..but the act of placing a bet is called???? what you have no way of gauranteeing you will be trading 1 year from know.......if you can gaurantee that please let me know where to send my funds.....
I guess it's just our definition of "Gamble" that differs. Just to take an extreme example, If I was sitting at a card table and I had the elusive royal flush(the best hand in poker) in my hand, I wouldn't think of it as a gamble to "raise the bet", because the odds are waaaayyyy in my favor. To me, gambling is taking a risk that you have little to no chance of profiting on...
The only thing you'll learn is how to trade like Nitro. If that's what you want, you might succeed in doing so. But I doubt it.
Like I said...the topic wasn't "a sure thing" or "luck". The topic was gambling. And when the odds are in you're favor, it's not gambling, but speculating...IMHO
