Many people confuse trading with gambling without even realizing it. The difference usually comes down to having a plan. If you’re trading with a system, whether it’s risk management rules, entry/exit signals, or a journal to track your progress, you’re trading. But if you’re buying because Twitter is hyped or selling because you’re scared of a red candle, that’s gambling. The way to avoid this trap is to treat every trade like part of a process. Even a small win or a small loss becomes useful if you write it down, review it, and adjust. But if you’re just clicking buy and sell hoping for luck, you’ll end up frustrated.

If you really want to grow, focus less on the excitement and more on discipline. That’s what separates traders from gamblers.

If you want to be a trader so bad relying on signal is one of the quikest way to send you packing. There is nothing bad in looking at other traders ideas but when it becomes a way for you to make decisions on your trade then you are gambling, you are risking too much already because you have no idea about how the person came up with such conclusion to give you that trade.

Ordinary trade alone is risky, joining it together with high leverage is another big risk, like I saw a thread earlier the guy was asking for a way to get 500x leverage, I'm not sure how he want to trade with such leverage but that's more than suicide to me.
