I used to think so, Or lets say that gambling and trading has a big difference. Gambling is no sure about money back while trading is sure in that case. Gambling is a game where you have no sure wheather you win or not. So absulotely, gambling and trading are not the same.
I agree with you . both have very different things. gambling is a game that must rely on luck to be able to win it. while in the trading we should have a proper analysis to be able to achieve profitability.
