I always post that trading is not gambling but it is very risky like gambling.
Yes that's the reality, trading is not gambling, but some trades are considered like gambling such as high-leverage Futures Trading and Binary Options.
It's a real thing that taking risk like you're gambling and people who seem to be focused only on earning will look that it's easy for them. But upon going on, they'll experience the hardship of trading. I think even in the spot, we can say that it's also the same as gambling like the lower risk ones but it's not that a lot of difference if someone does that. So, just as we're saying in gambling that people should only trade what they can afford to lose. Whatever it takes for them whether they're just learning at the beginning and only want to test their skills, still apply such rule.
