Can trading be considered as gambling??

[poplolnman]

Yes, in generally, Gambling and trading are the same but they just were differents in some features. Cause they're both investment can give back the good profit to the investors over time. And both of them need good stragedies to make the profit come true or losing everything is possible.

Indeed, they are quite the same in terms of gaining but they are different in some features like reputation and becoming rich. In you lose in trading it will not destroy your reputation in fact people will be proud of you because you try to earned in a decent way but if you lose in gambling your reputation will be ruin specially if you lost almost everything including your family because gambling is a vice. In talking of to become rich, i think no one become rich because of gambling but i know a lot of people who become rich because of trading in these people make me inspired to pursue on trading.  

some people confused about this , they have learn everything about how to become a pro trader but they are still struggle. everything just feel like the same when you gamble . and that moment just makes them angry and prefer to go for gambling instead wasting time to do a lot of things before start to trade. i won't blame them , trading sometimes sucks but of course not as sucks as gambling.

Trading only sucks if we failed to gather information and understand the incoming signals of the trend.  Before the price move, there is always an indicators on what trend it will go.  A good trader can sense this. so I guess trading will never be nor considered as gambling unless we really do not know what we are doing.  There is a huge difference of these two especially the risk being involved.

Yeah people can always choose whether to take trading as a serious way to make money and then do learn hard to achieve good result. Or simply being lazy to trade based on nothing as you have experienced to learn trading basics and yet you didn't fully understand about it, as a result your prediction mostly get missed.

Trading and gambling are similar in that they both attempt to create a capital gain, over a relatively short period of time.

Trading is to get money and gambling is only for fun. Yes we can get money from gambling as well but the chance is very low and not worth the time. Besides that if we want to get money then it is better to stay away from something that has house edge which is designed to make us lose. If we can keep making money from gambling then the owner will lose alot of money

I don't think there is a caisno or online gambling that will let you win all the the time and I think all of us is aware of that. So you are correct that its better to stay away not just from something that has house edge but to gambling because there is only little chance of making profit out of gambling. Unlike trading that we can still hold on to our coins even if it will go down for how long.

Trading is different from gambling as in trading you can actually lessen your risk with the proper technical analysis of its price charts. Speculating on the otherhand is more of like a gambling as this is buying and holding something without basis on the price charts but only through hype and news which is a really bad way because it is too risky. Trading is really not gambling as what people think it is because you can save your capital even if the prices decrease.

We have a chance to win money by risking our money, but both have big differences. The big difference between them is that trading is a business and gambling is a game. Both have the same goal but with different processes. Differences in the process is what makes trading can not be considered gambling.

Trading and gambling are two different things completely because in trading there are no processes of betting or things like that also you have to wait for your profits in trading but in gambling, the case is different. Gamblers exchange hand to hand cash in gambling which means the loser have to give money to the winner at the spot. Both the terms can be called as similar when profits are being discussed.

In trading, We have to wait, but after waiting some time, there is a possibility to get back our money with profit. This option is not there gambling once you lost your bet you must pay, and that money will not come back until you win your next bet. in both case we will invest but the returns different.

No trading is not gambling since there's science backing it up and experts spend alot of time trying to find the right thing to trade and when to do it and reading really complex figures. While gambling really comes down to pure luck depending on the game and your skill level.

[DesmondHayes]

These two things are similar but again different. Gambling is risky no matter how you look at it. On the other side, trading is risky too. With both, you can earn the nice amount of profit if you are good at it. People are connecting gambling and trading most of the times cause they are connected in some way, they are both presenting a big risk for the gamblers and investors. One difference that can separate these two is the power of analysis in the trading world that gets more sophisticated for each individual the more time he spends analyzing and investigating a specific area in which he will later commit trade.  In gambling no matter how professional you seem to be if the luck isn't on your side you will lose and for trading with thoughtful analysis loses can be reduced.

I think no, because trading is we can monitor the price in the market and we can decide if we hold or we sell. Trading is based on our skills so we cannot say that trading  be considered as gambling.  While gambling, it depends on our strategy and we cannot know that we can earn or we lose our money,  sometimes its based on lucky. But both are similar risky and it needs more skills. They are differ because trading is an investment, and while gambling is profitable. I think gambling is more profitable than trading.

I strongly disagree, because Trading is way too very far from gambling, Trading is more better and not too risky like gambling. Trading could be profitable in the long run while gambling can't, Trading have sure profits, gambling don't have, and so on, that is why I don't know why there are people who are saying that they are just equal.

When you play you have a sick desire of gambling and You are not in the usual world,you just want to get more and more and this desire is unsatisfied and insubstantial.So,These are two different things,There is an ''art of trade'' in trading sphere.The facts ,when you are trading, depend on some analytic issues,but not in dice or slots, its just  a funny game and you must not play it to get rich, because you will lose everything.i think its just a program and It's not easy to have influence on it .of course you can predict something by analyzing facts in gambling but They do not have one at all.because there is a businessman's influence on gambling and in trading,People's.It may sound s a little bad,but thats my opinion

Trading is basically the exchange of goods while gambling involves the betting of money. Exactly, access to your profits is much quicker in gambling than in trading instead you are paid the fixed amount at the spot when you win and definitely give away if you lose. If one wants to differentiate between trading and gambling, the only reasonable difference will be that of earning profits because gambling gives you more than you expect but on temporary bases.

You can easily say that this a war between skill and luck. The only difference that comes when you compare gambling and trading is that skills are required in trading, you have some techniques, some measurements that are required to be taken at right time so that profit can be in your account. But on the flip side of picture gambling is only luck and you are winning the game if it is your lucky day.

Depends on how you are trading. If you are new to it and don't have much experience, and are trading on your gut, then it will be considered gambling. But trading in general isn't gambling. It requires a lot of analysis.

I agree. Also, gambling is you are putting your money and if you win you will get money but if you lose your money will be lost. On the other hand, trading is all about trading what you have to something else or you are selling what you want to sell and trade it into money or what you want to have, it works as not betting your stuff but just trading it into something. So for me it's not considered a gambling.

[dharnamonitor]

For me trading can be considered as a gambling because of the risks that trading has. Your taking risks from your money. You are hoping and you know that your money will gave you back something. But still they have their difference. Trading is about exchanging and you just wait for your item or prize, in gambling you hope for your money comeback.

It still depends on the situation, in gambling, luck is one of the most important factors affecting one's game, but in trading you usually used your cognitive skills (analyzing, speculating, predicting, etc.) thus increasing your chances to earn.

Trading and gambling are similar in that they both attempt to create a capital gain, over a relatively short period of time, but trading can't be considered as gambling. I’m going to compare the two of them. Gamblers are simply playing the available odds; traders always examine the past performance of target stocks leading up to a purchase. Traders are very much happy to accumulate wealth a little at a time while gamblers are often looking to hit a jackpot price. Traders have a high chance of earning a long term profit.

On the other hand, gambling is purely based on luck and trading is based on strategies.  No matter what strategies you have in gambling, still you don’t know what will be the outcome of the game. In trading, earning huge amount of profit is on your hands if your strategy is effective.

the more we try on gambling, the more we've lost but the more we try on trading, the more we can get. at least, we can get another knowledge to analyze the trading itself so our skill can increases. but in gambling, we are risk money and if we don't try to stop and leave the place, our money soon will be gone.

traders and gamblers pursuit the money but the chance is bigger the traders than the gambling and we don't we can win the games in gambling but we can hope to get big profit in trading.

That is the one thing that you cannot control knowing that luck can change all the time. You might get always winning that one time but the other time it would get you to lose that's just the way it is. In trading you could really apply luck also knowing that you could be lucky the first time that you're invested in that coin and the other time making it lower in value.

Yes you are absolutely right in this regard. But one thing I want to add in here that gambling and trading are two different thing based on skill and luck. If you are comparing these two, then believe me the results are themselves showing you that oh man we are different. And this difference is only due to the fact that skill is dominate in trading and luck is in gambling. Trading is always a better option.

Trading is better to compare gambling, but trading will not give profit always, here also we will lose our money. There is no 100% profit in trading, if it is then everyone will do only trading. And why people will tell both are same means you can't make profit easily in both trading and gambling.
