I can assure you that good traders know what they are doing and manage their way to success, unlike gambling, which is highly luck-based. It's basically betting.
How you can be sure that trading is different than gambling
, trading itself is highly luck based, you can't predict current war that caused market to dump so hard, if you do you would've shorted it.You can try technical analysis but most of them are self fulfilling prophecy, at most they increase odd from 0.50 to 0.51. In literal sense both are the same speculation on probability.
Except trader just want to be recognized differently
.A boxer in the ring is like a trader. He doesn't know whether he can win or not when he faces an opponent in the ring.
And gamblers are like spectators who also don't know whether their favorite boxer will win or not. But spectators usually place bets on their favorite boxers while hoping that their favorite boxers can win.
Meanwhile, a boxer who will compete in the ring arena will make preparations and try to win by training hard before the time to compete and when he is in the ring he will try to analyze the opponent, provoke the opponent's emotions and do anything to knock down the opponent.
the audience also analyzed from outside the ring. Meanwhile, boxers analyze their opponents while fighting.
Does it look the same? Between the audience and the boxer.
A basic analogy like this should be able to differentiate between traders and gamblers. But I think you understand much more than I do. So hopefully it's easy to understand for others who still don't understand.
