This can be a very tricky question to answer.
Yes and no with gambling you have some idea what your up against.
In trading well it can be emotionally driven or be powered by speculative investment in things.
Which if they get scared well you could lose a lot of money ive seen it happen many times.

Well it can be said easily with, it depends on the person who is trading. If the person is trading blindly, meaning that person does not have any knowledge about trading at all then it is considered as gamble. He is betting on his luck in buying random stocks and wish it increase in price.

that is true we can call it gambling if you are totally depending on your luck, and you do not have knowledge and experience in trading. because trading need good experience, sound knowledge and trading skill, and only then we say that trading s not like gambling

I think that in gambling it is possible to learn things that can help the individual manage risks better and make better decisions, and that is a knowledge that can be applied in trading. If the investor trades without a good risk management, he/she will not feel safe in the job, and if he/she trade without knowledge and without evaluating his own decisions, it is almost certain that the individual will lose money.
