I would prefer to learn about trading to make money compared to gambling to make money, in my opinion, in gambling, we have very little chance of winning, but when trading, of course, we have learned very well about market conditions and it will be very good for us. in trading. Maybe I think the risk of gambling is that it is very likely that we will lose and in trading it can be the same, but in trading we still hold assets very different from gambling, if we have lost then we have nothing.
Making money from trading might be easier even though we must keep learning to analyze to make a profit. But at least we still can make money instead of playing gambling, which we don't know whether we can win or will only lose. But some people use futures trading and gambling together to make money, and some manage to earn money. But, gambling and futures trading have their risks, so it is better to know the risks before making a decision. And if future trading is more profitable than gambling, we better choose future trading.
Choosing any of the two or none is one's personal choice, but knowing about both of them is important for everyone and everyone should also know the difference between the two. Futures trading is risky, I totally understand that, but that doesn't mean it should be compared with gambling which is totally based on luck and there is absolutely no influence of anything else on the results of gambling, while the results of your trades in futures trading is also dependent on your knowledge and experience other than the market movements.
So, someone who chooses futures trading because they think it's like gambling, they are wrong, and they might lose more money than they might lose in gambling. But someone who understands what futures trading is and does it the way it should be done, won't lose every time and they can be profitable in the long run which can't be said about gambling.
