I wouldn't say that trading and gambling are the same, because trading and gambling are different by nature.Trade on my Demo account only,then the game ends))
Yeah it's different. Although both has risk to lose your money. Trading has higher chances that you gain profits as gambling needs luck to gain due to slim probability of winning.

although we are lose the money in the trading, we still have a chance to recover our lose in the future especially when the price increases higher than the price we buy. but in the gambling, we cannot recover the money we lose because we don't have a chance to do that and the house is always won in the end. and if we can think what the benefits from trading and gambling, I think we can choose trading depends on gambling to make the money.
That's the difference between the two, in trading we do not lose our money if we will not sell it and just hold it until the price will come back we call our loss as a "paper loss" with gambling if we lose it means our money is not going back again not unless we gamble another money and try to win back the money we loss. Both involve gaining profit and having losses but very different in terms on how you do it.
You are right, if we don't sell it then still we are not yet losing something because the investment is still there and we cannot assume already that when the price gets low that we are already lose, it is not calculated like that losing starts the time we sold our investment.
