Yes I think its a sort of gambling, I think that the risks are equal in the first place so due to that I think that its logical that it can be considered as gambling.
Trading is maybe a little less more risky but its stays almost the same.
it is gambling only for those people who start trade and they consider only their luck enough for starting that trade and people who start trade with skills and do their research and get more knowledge about any investment do not see trade as gambling.
