For me as a trader and a gambler I still consider gambling as more riskier.
Also with gambling when you lose your money that is it your done while in trading even though the prices went down you do not lose the money until you click that sell button.
On any day gambling is risky compared to trading, irrespective of whether it is skill based or luck based gambling. Trading can assure you at least the invested money back, but gambling may or may not get the invested money back. Trading is a safer side then gambling need luck and skill to win in gambling.
Yes I agree, gambling is always much more risky, but to be honest trading is also very risky. There are a lot of chances that you can lose 10% just like that without the trader even having the opportunity to react to the sudden event. But what is good with trading is that you can change your position and possibly profit from the situation. But of course trading is something for someone really experienced. It is not something for newbies to make a quick buck.
