in gambling we need only one thing that is money
but in trading we need many things other than money,money management , emotion control , analysis , i can say Trading is professional gambling
Unfortunately, for a lot of people that got into trading, they actually took it as gambling, and they thought if they can at least have some pretty good bucks to trade, that is good enough for them, but they fail to realize that there is actually no chance at all to make something good out of trading if you think only your money is what will get you there.
The reason so many people who tend to trade well today, went through the process of learning and practicing over time to get better is because they understood immediately the value of knowledge and know pretty well that without it, there is actually not going to be any chance at all for them in making anything substantial from trading which at the end would just frustrate their efforts.
