I do consider trading as gambling. What is the definition of gambling at first need to know that. A attempt in gambling either will bring you some profit or loss. Trading where you get data and make analysis and then based on that you do a move to put some money in something. You think this is good thing to get profit sometimes you make or other times loose. Even experienced traders can not avoid losses as it is not in your hands to control the market. They work the same way in my point of view.

In simple words, if you're going for trading without having any skills, it might be gambling in the name of trading. Trading needs skill to set up strategies, so that we will be able to predict the price levels. Without skills, trading must be gambling only.

No need of predicting any prices but if you know that any product will give better returns in the long run then just buy and keep it until you get a good profit. But if you want to do a short-term trade then it is equal to gambling because in this skills will help only litter but still need a luck to make money.

You're right about the skill vs non-skilled trading. If the person doesn't know what he is doing then it really is a Gamble to them but with your eyes you may have the enhanced skill-set to figure that what they are doing is right/wrong.

right, when you know or you already have experience in trading, the risks of you losing are already minimized. if you're just starting to do trading, it's inevitable that you will experience losing, you in that there's a gamble in your money. but as you go on and you learn from experience and mistakes, chances are you'll know when are where to buy and sell
