Dont make trading as some sort of gambling because it isnt really that totally different or having that kind of approach on things. You would really be needing to differentiate things among the two.
people can differentiate between the two only when they have sufficient experience and knowledge of both. so someone will be able to feel for themselves where the differences lie.
a person must think why other people can continue to profit in trading while he himself continues to lose. that's because novice traders don't minimize the risk of their trading. more novice traders simply speculate. it's almost the same as placing a bet at the gambling table.
I wouldn't say they are the same. trading and gambling are still different.
