How different is trading from just gambling? I know there seems to be a big difference with technical analysis and whatnot, but in the end aren't you just betting on something completely random?
trading is not gambling when you realize your trading aims, have a trading plan and follow it, control yourself and avoid 'storm' trading or trading under feelings.
trading is that which you work on, and follow the rules which you set for yourself.
if you trade when you have a wish or mood for that then it is a gambling. just entertaining yourself, nothing more
