Probably no. Because, in the most cases you know what you'll get after the process of trading. It requires a lot of analytic and market research skills.

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

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.

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.
- In short, gambling and trading have many similarities but we can not consider trading as gambling, although both have the element of luck and all that we need to do is predict, if we win and earn money, others will lose money and vice versa. However, both are different in purpose, gambling is used for spending money, trading is used to make money, and trading never relies entirely on luck, luck is only a small part of the game, experience and skills are the most important, this is a fair fight. With gambling, we are always under the control of the house, we did not have a chance to win, skills and experience do not have too much effect

Gambling is quite different from trading as in trading your skills and understand on how the market work is what help one in trading a coins successfully! In gambling you will need the gods of the gamblers to be in your favor before making profits from it. Trading need time and you need to plan very well before venturing into it but in gambling you only need to know the levels of risk you can take. So if you are trading now your activities is quite from gambling.

Exactly, Gambling and trading are two different things, they only relate due to huge amounts of profits in the blink of eye they usually give.

Trading is dependent on the knowledge of the trader which means that if the trader is having a good knowledge of what is going on, he will definitely gain profits however in gambling which is totally luck dependent, a person who has seen casino for the first time in life can also win the game.

There are several options in trading called gambling, but that is not evenly used by everyone, we can also look at the binary platform where the website is specifically for margin options etc, although there are graphical analysis but the system remains different. For the public, trading market can not be called gambling because direction of the market is run not determined by some people alone, that's where active speculation is needed and is called as the fundamentals.

To add more, in trading the outcome is predictable but in gambling the outcome in unpredictable except it a skill-based gambling. I believe that what makes trading is more superior than gambling. And also, In my opinion, experienced is somewhat affect in gambling well, it doesn't add the possibility of winning, but it helps in term of minimizing losses and maximizing profit. We know when to take a loss/profit because we already had experience of it.

But you need luck too in trading. Imagine how lucky you are when you gain something, while the others are losing their money. It's not just skill, sometimes trading and earning from it is base on speculation, that means you are just guessing, you are skilled, and so as the other traders are, not everyone will get profit, and only those who are lucky enough, unless you are in a group (Pump and dump).

Risk takers are gamblers and traders take risks. No one knows what will happen to the price of anything they buy or sell, there for its a gamble. I think it's fair to say trading as gambling.

Trading is really a form of gambling because you are putting money on the line which you wont know the out come will be, gambling is for gaining money hence trading but trading can benefit more money rather than gambling.

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.
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.

I compare it that we have control only one thing and that is our capital, in trading we know who to use our capital and earn profit, but in gambling we don't know it just do it and play game, our game decided that we could win or not. However in gambling lose is more than trading. Otherwise all things is happening like both gambling and trading depend on luck.

Trading does gives us a chance  to learn in the long run while in gambling it's quite the opposite because the longer we play
the more our chances gets lowered, so let's choose wisely on what way we will start our journey, I am not saying that we all lose in gambling but most of us surely does have the experience which we lose most of the time.

When the luck is not with us definitely we will lose on borh, but chances of losing in yrading where only minimal since it's our choice whether to trase it yet or wait, the only lose we can get is when were too rush in trading it and the price goes too high. In gamblimg when we bet already we can't deciding anthing on it untol the result shown.

I want to know what you guys think about this, I have stopped gambling but still trade so does this mean I am still gambling?? I don't trade on basis of luck I trade using my skills would it still be considered gambling??

Please tell me what do you think.
I think trading is different from gambling. Yes we all know that trading was too risky just like gambling. Because its just a matter of luck. But that's not enough reason for them to become the same. Because in gambling is just a blink of I you can have money, or you loss all of it. While in trading you have pattern that you can review before you make a decision.

No,trading is different from gambling  because they have different way in how to perform in crypto world.trading investment is the process of finding a potential coins that can give you a good benefits and huge profits with a motivation to our mind in buying in low prices and sell high,unlike in gambling that its only an entertainment to youself at the same time ,you must push  yourself to find your luck in gambling but  mostly 85% chances of lossing in games.

85 % is just a small number and I think that it is more than 95 %. We wont win most of the time so the number doesnt matter at all right, If we tink that we can win then we will win but we cant that means itis only made for us to lose some money. If we are losing some money in the process of making money than that is not way of our lives should , thats what separate between trading and gambling

It's gambling only if you buy without studying the chart pattern, fundamentals, and even recent news. Trading is entirely different since you prioritize in managing your losses by doing the opposite.

Trading and gambling have same risk, but gambling is risky than trading. We cannot considered trading as a gambling. But they have difference, in trading we can sell if the price is high and we can buy if the price is low and we can wait for the right time. But gambling is we need to take risk or to bet our money and if your lucky you can easily earn profit and its possible that our money will become double. Trading is need of strategy and gambling its depend only on your luck.

That is true, so I am not sure why people keep on saying they are remotely related. There is indeed the level of risk you put on gambling and in trading, but the kind of risk is completely different. In gambling, the risk is pure. There is no other way to change the risk, no way to lower or increase it. Unlike in trading, where you can change your risk anytime by executing maneuvers.

gambling and trading are two things different. we can not consider them as equal. Trading is basically a job or an investment that requires studies and plans while gambling is essentially based on luck.
