There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?

Futures trading is gambling in my opinion. You’re just making bets on companies and their ability to over or underperform expectations. Since it isn’t a black and white type of gambling it could give people the illusion that futures are some type of investment, but they are a really poor way to invest and a great way to gamble.

No, it isn't. Just because the outcome in futures trading is also unknown it doesn't make it pure gambling. To get to know the difference between futures trading and gambling, take one regular gambler and one regular futures trader, and ask them about the results they tend to get in a week's time, the answers will surely let you know the difference and how gambling is not exactly the same as futures trading because you don't blindly open trades in futures trading but it's all done after a process.

So people who trade in futures that have knowledge and experience about it tend to win more trades than they lose and they make trades with proper risk-management such as stop-loss where you don't lose everything even if you lose a trade, while in gambling, a bet that you lose takes away the whole amount you have wagered.

Actually this problem is still a big question because according to the answers some people here say that futures trading is the same as gambling but some say it not gambling.
But for myself this is clearly not comparable because the functions of the two are different or briefly both have different ways of working so for me gambling is not trading and trading is not gambling.

Futures trading is something that moves at a time that is hard to predict, at least for me, because it moves too fast, I can trade but long-term, medium-term, but futures The market moves very different, although it is the same market, but it is not the same, because here the strategies that work are applied a lot, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, use of indicators, a bit of everything, and everything that is study and trade is never to bet, because to bet is to leave everything to chance, play and play until you win and have that good touch of luck at the right time.

I have done futures trading applying Wyxkoff's theory, only for that period of time it is very difficult for me, that's why I do analysis using the Wyckoff method but in a longer period, 1 hour and from there I draw conclusions based on the tempo, that is, I can do my analysis at 1 hour and at the end of 1 hour I can sense where the market can go, and from there I take it, it is not what should be done, but it is my method, although I did not do it again do because I feel like I'm making it up.

So when I make these comparisons, trading of any kind is clearly not the same as betting, betting is always something else, I know that there are people who enter a casino betting, playing for the sake of playing, some apply strategies, but randomness can do it . Win or lose, but entering a trade by betting is the most dangerous thing to do.

My analogies regarding gambling and trading will always be the same, first of all in gambling and in trading when you win even a little, that's a win, I prefer that to losing, there are actually many people who have ways of thinking very different, they only settle when they get very large profits and that is difficult, both in gambling and in the casino, the profits for me should be few but continuous, that is, if I win little money in one day I accumulate it, then the next day or t 3 days, it doesn't matter, you have to see this as a business.
