Do you consider trading as gambling?

[EdenHazard]

Trading actually involves a deep  study, before investing your money  or putting your possession into it... So, for those  people who just listen to one or two articles and then  go straight into trading for  that stocks , would  be more like gambling.

It is true. Anyone invest money in trading based on someone's suggestion is like gambling so don't ever invest money based on some tips. Instead, try to find out the news is correct or not before investing. Many people lost money who invested based on some suggestions and start blaming the tip provider.

Getting tips from the expert could help in trading but you should not only rely on what they said because you have your responsibility to do the right research before to decide, that is your money that is being use in trading so you should manage it well in order for you to grow your capital.

just don't listen to someone in the trollbox they are full of lies.

gambling and trading are similar thing actually , both are about wagering money to get additional money , both are uncertain thing , both about guessing and predicting , so you can consider trading as gambling if you refer to those reasons.

Sometimes they are right but most of the time they are wrong, trading is not an easy job or venture, it requires a lot of knowledge if order for a certain trader to be successful and anyone can do that if you have the perseverance to learn and to succeed.

what do you mean with 'Sometimes they are right but most of the time they are wrong' ?

are you talking about getting tips from a trollbox , or talking about how people think trading are same as gambling? as i stated previously because there is so many similar things between them , there is no harm to consider trading as gambling , most people prespective around here saying the same too .

It should be on the traders in the trollbox because they love to promote a certain coins to buy and sometimes they are right and you make profit but if you will just rely on them and you forget to do your job which is to confirm then your success will not last long.

Like the same idea on my recent post here, people can include trollbox suggestions as references. We can also check if the suggestions is right thru our own analyzation and deep research. Also there are some claims that doesn't have any basis.

More importantly, focus on strategy and do much research on the next move.

[Noctis Connor]

There are just a few similarities, but not many. The risk is much lower when trading, if you put the efforts in the right thing to do, of course.

no i dont consider tradeing as gambling because in trading i sitll can sell my coin i bough before but in less price not like before in gambling you cant take back your profit or your bitcoin there because it all lose and in trading is much more safer than gambling that the difference for me.

Trollbox comments sometimes has some basis so people can consider that as a reference like you are saying.

And besides at the end of the day, still the trader itself will make their own decision on how they will handle their trades.

I couldn't consider trading is gambling because they are different i know gambling that are giving only entertainment and fun and trading give you a business to trade money into other currency to make a profit for spikes.

I think its not a good idea to go and folow the trollbox other chatters there are promoting their altcoin that you really dont know that the price will increase more.. so if you really want to make a good profit in trading better to follow with your own way until you discover your own strategy to make a profit. to analyse the altcoin..

No Im not saying that people has to follow the trollbox. It just for reference because like I said people will decide for themselves at the end of the day.

There are just some trollbox comments which really has a basis. Im not referring to all comments. And besides a trader has it's own knowledge in enhancing their strategy so whatever troll they received they will just put it on the note.

Trading is gambling when you don't know what you are doing and just trading randomly with no indicators or close follow-up with the movement of BTC, The same is the case with forex. if you can analyze the market then it's not gambling IMO.

[DomesticTrader]

In my eyes its a sort of gambling because of the risks but on the other hand its not fully gambling so I think you can see it from different sides.
Its just how you look at it.

[marcuslong]

im a trader since 2014 and it almost 2 years past since i started in trading and i never think that trading is also a gambling i read some of comments and they considering trading is gambling because they lost money too but they dont think that they can resell the coin or hold till it pump up patience always win

we can also say that in trading we can estimate the situation and can predict the situation and the coming prices from the situation with the asset so with trade we remain secure and we do not lose all in  one as the investors do lose.

[CloudStrife]

It can be considered gambling  when the investor is only  based on superficial analysis, forgetting  to follow the development of the project  in which the investment is made.

For a part I consider trading as gambling because of the risks that are almost the same, I think that gambling is similar to it, trading is risky and you can lose a lot of money.
Its maybe less more addictive but it has almost the same risks so..

No, the risk aren't the same as what gambling do have.

In trading you have the control over your money and when are you planning to sell the stocks or coins that you have, wherein it requires an analytical skills, thus making it less risky than gambling.

Gambling is completely based on the luck of the gambler, so the winnings and the chances of winning in their is also based on the luck.

You consider trading as risky is because you never do the proper research. It is just like those non-investor keep telling their peers that investment is a scary thing and you cant gain from it. But everyone knows they need to invest in order to keep up with inflation. So do put in some effort to study the market and you will feel it is not as risky as you think.

Don't say it is completely based on luck, otherwise sports handicappers would not bother anymore in analyzing the game prior to the actual event, there is always a skills that is involved in gambling while luck is just a bonus where you are given the chance to make good money at a certain period of time. That is just temporary, while your skills will give you permanent win.

There is always risk involved and uncertainty in the outcome of trading, much like the same with gambling. I think anything that carries with it some risk of losing can be considered gambling. Even if you are just betting on the outcome of a game or just picking which horse gets to finish the race first, I think it is all gambling. Trading is no different.

[resilientknight]

It depends on the techniques  that you use. If you do mere analysis  of patterns in the charts, I think that it is  gambling, with an attempt to  reduce the risks. But if you trade based  on technology and development, this  can lead you to a better investment.

I agree trading is also gambling that has lesser risk, unlike in gambling it has a total high risk game. And besides in trading you need to know how market of alt coins are moving so if you don't know how it moves then you are just going to completely gambling your money without any assurance that you are going to play for it.
