Trading is risky like gambling but not as risky as gambling. When a trader makes a wrong entry in trading then his balance is not 0 and he has a chance to recover the loss by holding those coins. But in case of gambling, if one makes a wrong decision, his balance immediately becomes 0 and if he wins the bet, he gets the profit according to the odds. So these two things are not the same there is a big difference between them. However, leverage trading can be said to be a form of gambling, but spot trading is never like gambling
I agree. Both involve risking money, only their approach and goal vary. In trading, we buy and sell assets intending to make a profit, while gambling involves risking money to win more. Decisions are based on research, analysis, and market trends in trading, while gambling is often based on chance and luck. Trading can be a long-term investment strategy, while gambling is typically more short-term and focused on immediate gains.
Personally, I consider trading a more legitimate and safer activity than gambling, which can be associated with addiction and other negative consequences. They may have similarities, but the differences between the two are significant. Either way, it is important to understand these differences before getting involved in either activity.
