Traiding is on the same level risk as gambling
But for me they are two different things and the risk level is also different in both of them because in trade you can control on your lose and win and it totally depends on time and your right decision and your patience while gambling is not controllable like that.
I agree both has a different risk level , how can he assume like that?
As in gambling you have a chance to lost the whole staked money , but in gambling you will still have some even you lost it.
It is worth to the risk however , as gambling give you bigger amount in return while trading has lesser.
