I think trading is less like gambling because there is a lot more strategy and potential for knowledge to actually be applied in the stock market, as opposed to gambling which is typically based on random chance.
Not all gambling is based on luck, strategy in Poker and knowledge in Sports betting can be applied to make profit too and same way not all trading is based on calculations, sometimes is just luck, so in a way both of them are interrelated.

in the world of cryptocurrencies tradins sometimes feel like a gamble because it is hard to speculate the market sometimes. and that is because crypto market is full of manipulation and some of the altcoin markets are small enough to be easily pushed around with a couplf of BTC. but this doesn't mean that trading should be considered a gamle. there is still ways of predicting things and investing accordingly that will help you beat the market for profit.

Trading is gambling. You can be patient about trading, though. There's no win or loss right away, but you have to wait. You definitely have more chance with trading though

strategies, knowledge,... are really hard things to archive, and use, especially in trading. many people just jump in trading without them and it's like gambling. Trading only become a gamble if you do not know what you are doing. But if you have the right knowledge and skills, then it is not a gamble. If you lose, it is not because you are unlucky but because you made a mistake in your analysis. While in gambling, you lose because you are unlucky.

No, but you can lose money in trading for factors that are unexpected. What if you invest in bitcoins as you see positive news, and then all of the sudden there's a huge scandal with bitcoin money laundering? There's a luck element to that.

That's not analysis, that's an unpredictable scenario. Is it your fault if you invest in bitcoins and a whale decides to dump their coins and drops the price down? No. That's luck.

Hey people, I've always been a huge gambler. I like creating useless schemes (as we all know bank always win ^^) and betting whole nights long in order to find THE right way of betting. But I need change, I can't bet over and over on the same game cause after I see that nothing can be done to change the odds, I'm bored. So I thought a bit about trading and I started not so long ago. and it feels a bit like a betting game without knowing the odds and with an infinity of parameters! Does anyone else takes trading as a gambling game? i think that gambling is everything that have 99,9% or less chances to win, because you're not sure if you will win or lose, not like a job, there you always will get money, but in gambling you also can lose it, and i think about trading same as gambling for same reasons

If you are a former gambler then it's better to avoid even trading since it's very similar to gambling in a way mainly for someone who was related to it at sometime, If you are trading with no sufficient indicators and evidence supporting your buying/selling then it's a form of gambling IMO.

trading is quite similar to gambling but in that sense every business has a risk factor which makes it gambling itself. but gambling is just a luck based game.

But if you know how to read charts, sufficient indicators and do research very well, it is not a gamble anymore. There will always be a risk, but it is calculated risk. It has a higher rate of success. But if you just jump into trading and never do any study or due diligence, you are asking for trouble. Doing that would be like giving away your money.

That I agree with you. Gambling risk so many money in a luck way. While trading is knowledge. Prediction and some charts will help you in trading. Gambling is push that button and see if you are a lucky one.

Gambling is push that button and see if you are a lucky one. But some people prefer easy and quick money with huge risk meanwhile trading is slow and hard to earn but low risk. You can choose between trading and gambling which on do you like but what I can say gambling can pay you more than you get from trading that s for sure

I think trading called as gambling or not it is depend on how we play it , if trading played based on your experience /knowledge mean not random trade it is not gamble. But if you trade randomly choosing up down up down without considering several matters which can affected to price movement , I think it is called gambling.

You will lose more money in gambling than trading so it is bad. But if you are lucky in gambling than trading is worst. But that happens not that often and that is really rare.

I don't consider trading as gambling.In gambling the chances of loss are much more higher.In trading depends on the nature of the market even there is also danger but lesser than gambling.In trading you make money on based of your knowledge and experience while market situation also helps.
