And trading is a job, and it cannot bring passive income, because in order to earn money on trading, you need to be present. And if you consider the profit from a long-term transaction as passive income, then this is a mistake, because you must also control this transaction and take the profit, and this is no longer passive income
I'm sorry but I don't agree with what you said here, because it depends on how they treat trading, because some people think of trading as a personal job without a boss but they control their time. Others think it's their personal business, because they just set it up correctly according to their technical or fundamental analysis then even if they leave it if they have set TP and SL they can go back to whatever they are busy with.
Because trading doesn't require you to be focused all day in front of your desktop or laptop, that's not the case. Unless you are a professional scalper who can really say that the income at this level is huge., while gambling you won't win if you don't play at the casino.
Crazy when reading that trading is a job since for me its just a activity that we can do on our free time. It didn't came on my mind thinking about it can be a form of job since not every time we can gain profit since trading result is unpredictable.
The similarity I on gambling and trading is financial risk also monetary gain, but technicalities is different since in trading we need deep market analyzation while gambling is a game of chance. To bad for other that they have wrong thinking about it, but for sure they could learn the difference especially that there are many people talk share their opinions regarding on this topic discussed here.
