I can look at it from the perspective of time duration; investment can be for a life time while trading can be done within 5minutes and results are gotten almost immediately.[/b] I did rather do trading of selling of off than trading of buying which can be likened to investing in a particular set if coins.
First part is correct from my point of view while trading need not to be 5 minutes one, i have seen people trading with strategy for 4-5 months.
There is mostly binary trading that happens for 5 minutes.
Binary trading is gambling because some Brokers want to earn money from user will effect the volatility of cryptocurrency on the market or through their sites, they will create some problems to make the chart price show wrong data within short time, maybe few seconds is enough to kill the user.
