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?
There is a big difference between gambling and trading. Although some people do see the both as the same, because there are risks involved
but the difference is this when it comes gambling there are NO loss mitigation strategies. But as a trader you have ways to avoid loss. Thats the difference, so gambling and trading are not the same.
