I think that many people have recently heard about James Wynn and how he first boosted his deposit from $3-4mln to $100mln with the help of x40 leveraged futures, then squandered all the unrealized profit and even went into a minus. In fact, futures with such leverage are the same as gambling. In my opinion, his case is a clear example that greed, haste, and unrealistic goals don't lead to anything good.
Rather I will say that future trading is one kind of gambling even there is lots of things to learn the analysis in future trading but but if we notice that most the people trade on future just like gambling because they don't have enough knowledge about the trading but because of their greed they trade to gain unrealistic amounts in a short period but at the end they just got bananas in their hand.
So I would say to both it can be trading or gambling we shouldn't except the unrealistic amount because it comes from greed and nothing can be good when it's comes from the greed.
