Purpose of the topic: for a simple clarity on what your thoughts are.
Key point: cash-out in gambling and stop lose/take profit in trading

1. Cash out only appears when events are on.
But, ST/TP can be set just immediately you enter trade.

2. Trading has spot and futures.
But this is not applicable to betting.

3. It is the casino that decides when to give you cash out
But in trading, you can SL/TP anytime.

4. Although both are used to mitigate loses, they share many similarities, yet there are differences between them.
On the larger scale, trading is also different from gambling, but when a inexperienced trader trades, we can say that he is gambling.
