You can consider it as gambling I have no doubts about it and I also think it is a sort of gambling to be honest because its like gambling with the risks it has these days.
Trading considered as gambling not just about taking risk on both.
But also things make both similar is when you have to make a guess and prediction on an uncertain outcome / price.
People too quick to make a judgement , it is obviously different if you are really a trader you will feel it and know it.
