Maybe? I think there are many difference between gambling & trading for example, Trading needs to be patience while the gambling
you need more luck. Otherwise if you don't have patience highly recommended not to trade!
Timing is what makes you succeed in trading, you do not need to wait for a long time before you sell your coins if you can take any opportunity to buy low and sell high at any given time, trading need focus on the market of coins you are planning to trade to have a good insights that would be use in decision making.
Therefore you need to have a long patience in trading, as not all the time the price is always in your favor. I agree timing is everything but you cannot do the right timing if you do not have the right patience, they work together to do trading successfully.
