People that trade without the necessary knowledge of financial background cause this confusion... Traders are not gamblers but gamblers can be traders...

Trading is a business, that's why no one prohibits trading, the risk is also not too big. Unlike gambling a game, the game is more fun to do so gambling biza cause addiction because we always want to do fun and make money. The risk is big so gambling is much forbidden.
I disagree that risk in trading isn't too big, gambling and trading risks are incomparable. They have their own level of risk but we can't say on how big or small they does.
People think that gambling has much bigger risk than trading because they have only heard about the failure stories of gambling. However, according to my point of view then risk in trading is much bigger than in gambling because in gambling, you fear will decrease as you will start playing gambling regularly and so your risk also but in trading, your risk will be still when you will trade some newbie.

Well there are a lot of risk when it comes to gambling because definitely it has a bigger risk ratio. Think about it, it's only a chance not an assurance.  If you don't know what you are buying into trading then there's a chance that you could lose a lot of money too but compared to gambling, it has a higher risk.

Everythink here is a risk , We are earning profits that has risk. The more risk you take is the more profit you will earn. Gambling and trading has the same concept we just want to earn profit from both of it it is just depending on how we will make some.

the real risk is not the same ,, in the trade, we will not make all our funds lost ,, but gambling it must have a big risk for us to lose all the balance ,, but anyone who often play the trade, they will not get out of gambling, , because it has happened since the first ,,

Another difference between the two is gambling happens fast and your funds go to 0 but trading is very slow and you can still cash out if you don't like losing anymore and then invest in another one to try your luck again.

Earning is not that easy and you can't just invest into something with out losing anything. Investing doesn't mean that you will always be getting a good profit or return, you might still lose something and that is normal.

Gambling might be really dangerous to people but as I say always, being responsible in your gambling activities will greatly help you to keep yourself from being addicted to it, just take gambling as something to past time or entertain yourself rather than a source of income.
‘I think the loss in trading depends upon you only because you should better search for the business in which are going to invest or to trade with before investing your some real money in it. It’s just like you are going for an exam without knowing the syllabus and after that you fail in that exam. Definitely, there would be no other results than failing because you didn’t prepared for that.

When gambling has been mentioned, the risk factor that's registering to our minds is different and we all believe that its high. You have a point that trading's risk is higher than gambling, the market is moving, fluctuating and unstable so you don't know on how long you have to wait for your trades to start ripening. While in gambling, you can just go whenever you want and stop and if you're lucky enough you'll win. But as I've said, they have their own level of risk and I'll not say that trading is bigger or gambling has.

Yes, I think everything we do will possibly failed if we don't really master or even try it at one's but then later we can realize that failure will give us some lessons too. Gambling and trading have posses risk with different degree for we don't actually know what happens along the way, everything is transparent because we are gambling our asset to gain good profit after all.

do not care about luck ,, but I do not seem to be very well suited to trading, because the income can be very slow ,, and for that I think gambling is something that is suitable for us who want something fast, but we must dare bear every the risk

Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing  Tongue


From my personal opinion the difference between trading and gambling is that trading should be a constant thing. which is same amount of lot size, risk and take profit level. No matter what instrument or gambling risk is always present, so trading is more to a money management reducing the risk as much as possible but no matter what there is no 0% risk who tells you 0% for trading is cheating you. Trading and gambling can be similar in a way that you will lose back what you win beforehand but trading give you the edge of preserving your capital if you do your money management well and not over stretching or over trading.

From the way i define gambling and trading:

Gambling: You does not know what you are doing you are just throwing money into a game with 50% 50% win and lose rate. You does not have a target just win as much money as possible and no strategy at all.

Trading: You throw in the money but you learn about the instrument through online or offline and you increase the winning percentage from 50-80% and reduce the loss to as minimal as possible. You have a clear target when will i take the winnings and go off and when should i stop.

Compared to gambling, trading seems more respectable in the public eye(religion and government allow it). In addition, although both are equally risky, but trading can be learned and many people have made it a source of livelihood.

because trading can give income for us especially if we can learn more in trading so we can earn a big money from trading. but if we want to play gambling, we can do it in anytime as long as we don't use gambling as a source of income because we cannot always earn money from gambling. I think gambling has a big risk depends on trading because once we are losing money in gambling, we cannot recover our money and it's only a waste of time.

There is a condition as always but the bottom line is we will only be successful if we have the skills to be consistent.
Based on the figure or trends, I think there are a lot of users in gambling and that is the reason why gambling industry are growing faster.
In trading, it's a long term goal, our chance depending on our hard work but as long as there is a chance and some people succeed, we should not loss hope.

They are similar to and extent. As a licensed financial guy and gambler, the latter is much safer/smarter. It’s fun to gamble but keep it within your means. Bitcoin is a gamble too, I really like this calculated risk!

We dont need to compare the two because they are both risky when you enter their world. It will just matter on how knowledgable you are about trading and gambling. These was a type of earning money but not that safe as like the other way. I agree that as you always doing it, it lessen the risk that you will feel.

Exactly we don’t need to compare both of these as they are the travelers of a same boat. However, in my opinion if you want to choose between two, I think one should go for trading because it is something real and you can do something at least to make a recovery but in gambling you would be unable to do anything if you fail to win in gambling.

From my personal opinion the difference between trading and gambling is that trading should be a constant thing. which is same amount of lot size, risk and take profit level. No matter what instrument or gambling risk is always present, so trading is more to a money management reducing the risk as much as possible but no matter what there is no 0% risk who tells you 0% for trading is cheating you. Trading and gambling can be similar in a way that you will lose back what you win beforehand but trading give you the edge of preserving your capital if you do your money management well and not over stretching or over trading.


In my own point of view gambling and trading are quite relevant and similar in terms. They can be profitable or the other way around. But trading is far better to do because if you are only mindful and careful you have a big chance of earning compared to gambling.

In a binary trading option, your trading shares and risk it, hoping for a certain result to happen - or not. The only real variable here is what you base your risk - in a binary option, it could be forex, commodity, stock or more. This is a more sophisticated form of gambling, with traders needing to read and predict the market.

Gambling casinos, on the other hand, are where players bet on the occurrence and frequency of an event. Typically, the results are unknown, and depends more than luck. then this is the main difference between the two - binary trading options depend on statistics and percentages, while gambling depends more on probability and how lucky you are when playing.

Difference
For binary options, there are online trading techniques and initial investment trades. This is a simpler form of trading but still makes money for brokers and traders. It's also possible to get high results in no time.
