Yeah, trading even with the amount of studying and analysis you do is still a really risky venture. It's no surprise even why people just consider it in general gambling since, well, even with all the knowhows, it can still seem like it's just gambling. And if you lose money even with said analysis, then heck yeah they'd say it's gambling.

Personally, I just gave up on it and just went to DCA. I do some light buy low sell high on some shitcoins I find occassionally but I never really spend THAT much on them, like ever. Rather than trading it's more like gambling most of the time.
