Casinos like brokers have their way of making money as the business progresses, obviously the bookmakers win when they have a good streak in which they manage to sell the shares that they are assigned, it is normal, it is their way of life. sell, the casinos are a company above all, they will sell but in another way, everyone knows the advantage of the casinos, they have their own options to do things well, and that they are acceptable, so that is why this industry of gambling and the exchanges, of the brokers, each one earns whatever, but who makes more money than the other, the truth is I wouldn't know? It could be that someone dedicates themselves to studying the statistics to determine who can earn more or less, but it is something that It doesn't make any sense, I have seen casinos that have the options so you can do a quick tab, especially the casinos that are decentralized, and that have the most moving ones in the current market.

There are many ways to present things well, or present them badly, we are the ones who decide how to spend our money, how to invest it, how to use it, if we want to invest in the stock market, in some actions that the brokers give us, well why not? It can be done, there is a lot at stake there, but we have to take into consideration that when we are in a casino the ones who decide are us and no one else, we are the ones who hear the risk, based on our money, if we want multi Spending our money, we are the ones who take the risk of betting too much or too little, depending on what is appropriate for the person, a person can spend a lot of money in a casino, and still be happy, a person spends a lot in a broker and he may not be happy with what he does, because that's not his thing, so this is a set of assumptions that can be made to be Able to determine if what we are doing is right or wrong, it's all a decision.


Absolutely, your points are valid and it's true that at the end of the day, every individual has the power of choice. However, isn't it about transparency and understanding the playing field? With casinos, the odds are clear, the risks apparent. But when it comes to brokers, are most people fully aware? You mention the intellectual person, but what about the vast majority who aren't in the know? Are they truly aware of the subtle nudges brokers employ to encourage more trading? Or are they unknowingly being steered into making decisions they might not have otherwise? Isn't it essential for everyone, regardless of their level of understanding, to have a clear picture?

Well, what I think about this is that when one refers to brokers as stockbrokers, it is another thing, they are interested in you as a client spending money and that they have spent money, what does that mean? In the case of brokers, they are interested in having enough money deposited in them and letting the card go and see how they use it, then there is the stockbroker who tells or calls the person to tell them that there is an opportunity in the market. , which is a stock that is low, but that in a short time can go up quite a bit, even up to x10, but in reality the broker does not know it, because what he wants is to sell and collect his commission , that is what this is about There is no other way out but that, basically people are sometimes fooled, especially those who have a lot of money, who talk to them about actions or things that they have to do three times as much as they have and that turns out to be a lot of lies.

And that is something that is good for stockbrokers, for them it is excellent that they can do something like that, because they know very well that when it comes to how to know if they can generate better results, it is by selling in some way, and that is what they They do, now with the casinos it is something else, each casino has its different point of view, they win because the player plays, bets, and if he loses they win, if the gambler wins, they lose , but based on the advantage of the house Well, they have many options to be able to win, because their basic business is winning due to the number of players who will enter and spend, that's what this is about, and the more customers, the better because there is more opportunity for them to win, they are based only on the advantage from the house and that is enough to guarantee the Business, of course in the casinos there is everything, there are players who are small, medium, large, and well they basically stick to doing things as they believe it is in vain to multiply their identity, Something like that for me is what brokers do, but in a different context.


Given your detailed insight, it prompts the question: Are brokers and casinos both just playing on human psychology, albeit in different contexts, to ensure their own profits? Where does the line between legitimate business strategy and manipulation begin to blur?

Coin flipping has so much to do with luck and with little or no skill at all whereas in day trading you can't just open a position to trade hinging on luck there must be an applied skills from a long time built technique.
I have learnt a number of lessons from my losses in gambling but I can't say I can depend and work with the experiences of those losses to make profit in subsequent bets but for trade the more experience and knowledge you possess the more chances you have of making profitable trades without having to be lucky at it.
Exactly, that's their difference. Experience in luck based games (or in coin flip specifically) doesn't increase your chances to profit the next time you gamble again. Because there's no skills that can help you to win, thus regardless of what you do the result will still depend on your luck.

While on trading, experience can help you to improve, this can increase the possibility to profit next time since you gained knowledge already from your past experiences. Although it is also risky just like gambling, but trading doesn't solely relying on luck. The more experience you have, means you already learned something, it could be another knowledge or strategy.

Given that trading experience can supposedly increase one's chances of profitability, how do you account for seasoned traders who still face unexpected downturns? Isn't the market's inherent unpredictability a form of luck in itself? Additionally, do you know any traders who, through gaining experience from their trades, consistently achieve a stable positive return?

Lost in the whirlwind world of day trading? It often feels like a maze with big folks and their flashy tools, leaving us hoping for a stroke of luck. Imagine ditching the tricky charts for a simple, real coin flip, person vs person, with a fair 50/50 chance. No gimmicks, no house edge, just a clear, honest game.

What’s your take? Does day trading seem more of a gamble compared to a straight-up coin flip
When I first read your title, I thought you meant flip trading, where you buy low and sell it quickly in a short period of time as soon as the price is higher instead of holding it for long term. But it looks like you are talking about games like coin flipping. Then in this case, the bigger gambling is flipping a coin. It totally depends on your luck and requires no skill. You have no control over your profit/loss. On other hand, flipping requires you to understand the market and some skills to execute the trades properly. Both has risks associated, but the risks with trading is much lesser than that of gambling with a coin.

Indeed, if trading is largely about skill and understanding the market, then why do many traders struggle to consistently outperform the market average? Isn't that indicative of an element of unpredictability and chance, much like gambling?

Re: Is a Standing Desk the Right Choice for Traders?

In the world of cryptocurrency trading, where every minute counts, the choice between a standing desk and a traditional chair can be a topic of hot debate. I've spent 15 years on trading floors, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum. Standing desks have their perks, offering potential health benefits and increased alertness, which can be crucial for making quick decisions in the volatile crypto market.

But here's a question for you, fellow Bitcointalk traders: Does standing really help make better and faster decisions in the high-speed trading world? Have you tried it, and did it work for you? Or do you believe that the comfort of a super ergonomic chair is the key to staying sharp during those long trading hours? Let's dive into this discussion and share our insights on finding the perfect balance between health and productivity in the crypto trading world. Your experiences and opinions matter, so let's hear them!

I don't think these things you said here can do anything for a trader to get a profit in crypto trading. Because what is important to us as traders is that we must know and have a broad understanding of trading in this field of the crypto space. Whether sitting or standing, as long as you still know the strategy you are using in your daily trade, it is fine.

That's the important thing; the difficult thing is that we don't have enough knowledge in trading and we don't get profit from it. That's the problem when that happens, right?

You're absolutely right; in the context of one trade per day, the physical setup matters less than having a solid trading strategy and deep knowledge of the crypto market. Profitability hinges on your expertise and approach more than whether you're sitting or standing.

I trade while laying down on the bed or sitting down on a chair. I have never tried doing it standing up. But what I do I feel most comfortable while laying down on the bed. It is more comfortable for me and whenever I feel exhausted I just lay on my back and take some rest. You can call me lazy but I enjoy it.
But in terms of standing or sitting on a chair, I think standing will be good rather than sitting. On the long hours that I spend sitting, sometimes my body hurts in different places. And it's not about good chair or something, if you sit for a long time it will hurt. Keeping that in mind, given the choice I have between sitting and laying down, I prefer laying down on the bed. I have seen many interesting replies about standing and working. So I might give it a try in the future if I get a chance. Seems interesting.
Trading while laying down on the sofa while "watching" something is where I do most of my trading as well. It doesn't require this much professionalism like standing desk or something because we are not professional traders and it shouldn't be a big deal.

I think it is quite important to remember that the more we do it, the better we are going to get and we are going to have some sort of result that would be a bit harder. I know that it will not be all that simple, but if we could make it work somehow then it is going to end up being a greater return. I know that "having fun" is a very important part of trading, you can't just consider it like a job, I mean some people are actually professional traders, they could, but not us.

You raise a compelling point that trading for those who aren't professional traders can indeed be a more relaxed and less formal affair, often happening from the comfort of our sofas or even unconventional locations. The informality can add to the enjoyment of the process. However, when discussing trading as a job or a more serious endeavor, the choice between standing and sitting becomes a relevant consideration for optimizing focus and productivity. It's a balance between the relaxed enjoyment of trading and the demands of a more professional approach.

Both of them do not affect trading directly, but rather on the trader’s decisions, which if they are affected by psychological factors such as trading after eating, or in the morning, or after the end of work, or before sleep, you need to control your emotions, as the greater the conviction that doing a certain psychological thing before trading means that you will make profits is a big mistake.

Get a place with good lighting and a comfortable chair, and you can think about trading decisions while walking or running according to the way you find suitable for you to think and make appropriate trading decisions.

You make a valid point about the importance of controlling emotions and psychological factors in trading. Having a comfortable workspace with good lighting is essential for maintaining focus. As for the preference between a standing desk or a mix of standing and seating, it seems that both can work, provided you manage your emotions effectively.

However, if we're taking out all other factors like sleep, diet, and exercise, I might lean towards a mix of standing and seating. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of increased alertness from standing while also having the option to sit when needed for a more relaxed and composed trading experience. But it's always fascinating to see how different traders find what suits them best. What's your personal preference, and why?

I find that standing makes me more mentally alert and allows me to make decisions faster, whereas sitting makes me feel slower.
However, I usually limit myself to one or two trades, because too many trades can cause my mind to make bad decisions, which leads to more losses.

That's an interesting perspective! It's great to hear that standing helps boost your mental alertness for faster decision-making. It's crucial to find what works best for your trading style. Do you also use a standing desk for your daily work outside of trading? I'm curious to know if you've experienced similar benefits in other aspects of your work routine.

What’s your take? Does day trading seem more of a gamble compared to a straight-up coin flip

It depends a bit how we define day trading, do you really buy and sell coins for 8 hours a day, or do we just a buy a few coins per week when the prices are right? A coin is one time event, we either win or lose with 50/50, but if we keep doing the same flip over and over again the chances are high that we will go broke. Nobody can always be right in a coin flip for a long period of time. In case we only do the flip with small amounts then our expected profit is 0, because we should have the same amount of wins as losses. In trading it's different, we don't know instantly if we won or lost money. It could take month for a coin to turn into a real profit and we always have our investment until we sell it. That's why I would say trading is less risky, nobody forces us to sell below our purchase price. We could always hold out and wait for the prices to recover again.


When I discuss day trading, I mean those who buy and sell daily, akin to high-frequency trading. This contrasts with longer-term strategies where you can wait out unfavorable prices. In day trading, swift decisions are vital due to daily market fluctuations. This rapid pace inherently increases the risk, as opposed to the more patient approach of holding assets longer-term. Thus, day trading, given its unpredictable nature within short time frames, can feel a lot like a gamble.

Regardless of who benefits between the two then I can only say that they are just part of the industry that serves your needs. Nothing is free and both use their customers to make a profit - it's worth it for what and who they serve, right?

You need the casino to serve you to gamble - so you have to pay them instead of just betting your money. The same thing about brokers - you have to pay trading fees [or whatever] if you use the facilities they provide and it is all a win to win situation between customers and industry players. There is no blackmail because you have all agreed to the terms of service - if you say it's blackmail then re-read the conditions for using their services.
That's exactly the point, we know that they are earning money from us, but we are the ones who are using the services they are providing, so we can't really say that they are exploiting us or using us for their own benefit because that's not entirely true. If you are a crypto day trader and you use a centralized exchange for your trades, you are getting to use the tools and services provided by them and that is what they are charging you for.

Similarly, when you are gambling on a platform, you are basically getting the opportunity to gamble and they are the ones providing you the opportunity, so if they charge you a percentage of your wins just as a fee for their services, there is nothing wrong in that and they truly deserve that for what they are doing for you.

So, both brokers and gambling houses are only getting what they are working for just like any other business in the world.

I totally get where you're coming from. Yes, businesses should earn for their services. But here's the heartache: When you enter a casino, you know you're rolling the dice, taking a chance. It's the thrill, the risk, and we embrace it knowingly. But when you approach a forex broker, you're thinking strategy, investment, foresight. It's not a game; it's your hard-earned money. So when hidden tactics push you towards gambling instead of trading, it feels like a betrayal. It's not about fees; it's about trust. It's about stepping into a space expecting clarity and being met with shadows.

Day trading & gambling do have similar features. Short term investing in blockchain does trump both of the latter I believe.
Indeed I will agree with you on this because short term trading is way risky as same as gambling and believe me I have had a taste of both and the results that yeilded from both field are the particular ones am not too proud of and I wouldn't ever advice anyone who is not an expert in trading to ever even venture into it. It's more preferable to just buy little coins and save and hope for the market to boom once more

Certainly, I agree with you, and I appreciate the distinct perspective on trading styles that focus on smaller coins. However, I must point out that this approach is a far cry from intra-day trading. Investing in little coins and waiting for a market surge leans more towards a blend of venture investment and long-term strategy, diverging significantly from the rapid, high-frequency decisions typical of intra-day trading. This strategy indeed demands a profound understanding of fundamental analysis and a comprehensive grasp of market trends and potential, highlighting its contribution to the broader economic landscape and humanity at large. And even when the trading goes awry, it indeed serves as a learning curve for the investor, honing their strategies and market understanding for future endeavors.

I used to work as a forex trader before so I had to learn few things about brokers to chose the best for me. I learned that there are actually two types or more of brokers in which both work differently. The first type called No Dealing Desk which is the safest and better option in my opinion even with lowest fees just bigger minimum deposit because they deal directly with banks and offer the same market rates globally.
While the second type is called Dealing Desk or market maker brokers, These brokers have their own platform and their prices are not directly related to market rates. Sometimes in my experience with them they can be manipulative and intentionally cause traders to lose the big trades by moving the price significantly until the trader account blow up, because they profit when traders lose opposite of the first type where they earn a percentage of every trade you open as fees or what they call spread and regardless of which direction your trade goes.

 I also believe that brokers can be quite risky and many of them especially the second type (Dealing Desk), can be pure scam and forbid you when you want to withdraw your money. There’s more topics and articles about exposing brokers than casinos so you decide which one is more manipulative.

https://binaryoptionz.club/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Types-of-Forex-Brokers.jpg

Picture source here

I appreciate your detailed insight, and it resonates with my own experiences. With 15 years of working on the Forex dealing floor of major banks worldwide, I have navigated the nuances of this industry intimately. You accurately differentiated between No Dealing Desk and Dealing Desk brokers, and your insights into their operations are spot on.

But I want to shift the focus to a specific area often overlooked, known colloquially as "Forex Kitchen." These entities are not the big whales with banking or broker dealer licenses. They operate in shadows, offering staggering leverage of 5-50x to inexperienced traders. This setup is arguably more perilous than casinos, as it not only lures the unaware into a risky trading environment but also leaves them stranded with almost inevitable losses.

You're right about the manipulative tactics of Dealing Desk brokers. In the "Forex Kitchen," the A & B book model is alarmingly simple. The A book contains clients who, with little experience and high leverage, are expected to lose. Their trades are not covered; the broker just waits for the inevitable loss. The B book, for larger trades, is routed through international liquidity providers to avoid the risk on the broker's end. This segregation and manipulative handling underscore the significance of understanding and exposing these operations for the trading community's collective security and success.

You know how casinos lay it all out, they're taking a gamble just like us? But get this, brokers might just be outdoing them in their own sly way. I’m saying brokers might actually be worse. Why? They’ve got this neat, little setup where they rake in their shares through bid-offer spreads and commissions, all while carrying zero market risk. It’s like having their cake and eating it too, but in secret. We’re all out here rolling the dice, while brokers are the house, cashing in risk-free. What’s your take? Are brokers just silently stacking the deck, snagging a surefire win with every trade we make?

If it's a possibility, why wouldn't they be? The entire casino industry is built upon exploitation and gaining edge over others. This kind of theory is in line with the way the industry inherently is. It would not be at all surprising if this theory were true...though even if the truth was out there, do you think that would stop people from rolling the dice? Will or have you stopped rolling the dice after learning this possible fact? This is the larger, sadder point.

I appreciate your thoughtful perspective, highlighting the possible exploitation inherent in both the casino and brokerage industries. You're absolutely right, the thrill of the game and the hope of winning big will always draw people to casinos, fully aware of the house always having the upper hand. It's a choice made for fun, entertainment, and adrenaline.

However, when it comes to brokerages, the narrative shifts. People enter these platforms intending to invest their savings thoughtfully. The creeping in of gamification and entertainment aspects by brokers is subtly changing the scene. Unbeknownst to many, what started as an investment journey could unwittingly morph into a gamble, devoid of the fun and awareness that accompanies a casino. This subtle and unsuspected transition is where the real concern lies, emphasizing the need for clear delineation and transparency in the brokerage world to protect unsuspecting investors from unintentional risks.

I think that we hope that entertainment, fun and adrenaline are motives. Though every time someone mentions a casino or someone online is discussing online casinos, the topic is more about the change in balance than it is about the experience.

You are right about brokerages and I see what you mean, however a good practical example of one that other parties can see first hand and compare with your posts, might be very useful for your points.

You are very right about the dangers that come with subtle, unsuspected involvement in gambling when it comes to what is thought to be investing.


Your input greatly enriches this discussion, thank you for sharing.

Thank you, likewise. Your recent posts have been refreshing to read from a new member. Keep up the thought you are putting into your posts and I'll surely end up being a supporter of yours Smiley


Thank you for your thoughtful insights. Your perspective is spot-on, and it helps to steer this conversation towards its essence. The pivotal concern should indeed revolve around humanity and well-being. Casinos, despite their issues, are straightforward about their purpose as a source of entertainment, albeit with potential pitfalls. On the other hand, brokerages encouraging excessive intraday trading through subtle gamification techniques pose a serious issue. Unlike casinos, they mask the risks with an illusion of investment, leaving many oblivious to the potential financial peril. This dangerous gray area certainly does not qualify as entertainment, and it's crucial to highlight and address this distinction to safeguard individuals' financial and mental well-being.

I'm sure it would be good if you advised gambling addicts who really spend their family assets on gambling. but some people gamble for their enjoyment. like supporting their favorite team, to burn enthusiasm, I think this is natural. unless your gambling is detrimental to your family, then learn to control it.

You make a valid point, highlighting that gambling can be a form of entertainment for some individuals who participate responsibly. It's true that as long as individuals can clearly differentiate between engaging in these activities for fun and trying to make a living out of it, they may be able to enjoy gambling without adverse effects. Responsible gambling entails setting and adhering to personal limits regarding time and money spent on gambling, ensuring it does not negatively impact their lives or the lives of their families. Nonetheless, it’s paramount to maintain awareness of the potential risks and exercise continual self-monitoring to ensure that gambling remains a form of entertainment and does not escalate into an addiction or financial peril. Your emphasis on learning to control it is crucial to preventing the detrimental outcomes that can arise from excessive gambling.

Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.






It's clear that your painful experience with gambling, witnessing its devastating impact on your father's life, has imbued you with a desire to warn others of similar pitfalls. Your earnest advice to avoid gambling games and steer clear from high-risk financial activities like intra-day trading of cryptocurrencies, forex, and stocks is invaluable. These activities can indeed be highly speculative, leading many down a path of significant financial loss, despite the potential for gain. Your cautionary tale emphasizes the importance of comprehensive research, seeking expert financial advice, and assessing one’s own risk tolerance before embarking on such ventures. Even with extensive preparation, it’s crucial to only invest funds that one can afford to lose. As you bravely navigate towards finding light in this period of darkness, focusing on sound financial decisions, prudent saving, and wise investing can pave the way for a more stable and secure future. Your candid sharing serves as a beacon, helping others to navigate away from the treacherous waters of gambling and risky financial endeavors.

You know how casinos lay it all out, they're taking a gamble just like us? But get this, brokers might just be outdoing them in their own sly way. I’m saying brokers might actually be worse. Why? They’ve got this neat, little setup where they rake in their shares through bid-offer spreads and commissions, all while carrying zero market risk. It’s like having their cake and eating it too, but in secret. We’re all out here rolling the dice, while brokers are the house, cashing in risk-free. What’s your take? Are brokers just silently stacking the deck, snagging a surefire win with every trade we make?

I believe the crypto exchanges are the ones playing the money game on their traders more here, then it's followed by the casino's the forex are design in such a way that they win when their traders lose and lose when there traders win although they manipulate the market sometimes to be in their favour.

The exchange sucks with their means of earning from their customers, from taking from their commission fee, then followed by the fee they also charge when customers withdraw, and they use customers deposit to make money especially when the customer use the staking option where they end up rewarding the staker with just little APR.

Then the Casino is design to favour their owners, unless on those games which the outcome can be verified outside the casino like the sport betting, things like slot game and those random number generator games always happen to outsmart the players which in turns give them more chance of earning more than the players, so they are also playing the money game in their own way on their gamblers.
Trying to elaborate on how these things do make money then it would really be sharing up on the same scheme on which it would really be just that so right that they would really be that be always having the advantage
among into its users.It might really be looking up something that really manipulative or decieving but this is how business do works or on how this industry do really acts out. They are making money on the service that they do give.

Example.
1. Exchanges-  Trading fees, withdrawal fees
2. Casinos/Gambling sites - Peoples/gamblers losses,fees etc.

Checking it out then it would really be just the same but what matter the most on here is that if they do really just give out their fair approach and service without deceiving out their users then it should be fine.
You arent really that been forced on using up the platfor or service that they do have. You could really deal up with things with your own free will and to mind off about on how they do make money
then thats how that typical cycle do circles around.You dont like such system? Then there's nothing you can do with that.

Important thing on here is that you could be having a choice because if you do go for Trading then expect fees would be there but its not something that huge that you would really be making yourself that too stress of.
Speaking about leisure time then losing is inevitable because it would really be pertaining about on how lucky you are but we know that as long those results are fair and square then
it is something that be on least concern i should say.


Absolutely, I completely acknowledge the necessity for brokers to earn through commissions and fees for the services they provide. My concern, as you've noted, arises when brokers use gamification tactics to entice individuals into making trades they might not otherwise have considered. This strategy blurs the lines between investing and gambling. When brokers push individuals to trade more frequently to earn points or achieve levels, it shifts the focus from smart, intentional investing to a more casino-like environment where frequency trumps thoughtfulness. This is where I see the potential for harm and manipulation, veering away from the fundamental purpose of investing platforms.

Correct me if I am wrong as no one is the most perfect being in this world, brokers are supposed to be for forex traders? Am I wrong or right? Because I believe that comparing gambling with brokers makes no sense.

Now if we are talking about which one is more reliable my answer will be none, you want a loyal broker? You have to find one, because there are many fake brokers out there that want you use you and your money.


I believe you didn't understand. OP is debating that "Brokers" are not just "raking" in proftis through fees/commissions, but that they're also raking profits through the bids and the asks spreads, which is partly true, BUT how can they continue market-making if they keep losing money in the same market that they're market-making?

🤔

It's not that different from gambling too as there are also many fake or bad casinos online this days, for example, the crazy 1xbit casino that scams their customers and are still in the business till today, crazy, isn't that crazy?

To round up my opinion, i believe that wherever there is money there will always be bad actors who will come as your solution by they came only yo take advantage of you, some people willingly stay away from every money making online because of bad actors, they are so scared of becoming their next victims.


Read OP's post again and try to get it from his/her actual context.

You bring up a valid point, and there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. My argument is not against brokers who are also dealers or engaged in market-making. I'm specifically discussing brokers like Robinhood, which, as you pointed out, don't engage in market-making themselves but sell order flow to other entities that do. This situation illustrates the variety within the brokerage industry, and it's crucial to delineate these differences to fully grasp the landscape and the various ways brokers can generate revenue beyond traditional fees and commissions.

Shouldn't this depend on the agreement? I mean in most cases brokers are the ones that are paying. Let me explain to you how the casino that I worked with was establishing their wins and losses. They had few different games, all from different game providers, which mean they had like 6 if I remember right game providers that gave them about 300 games.

These games were automatically tied like an affiliate, which meant that if you gambled where I worked at that time, the money you lost went to the game provider, and then due to that affiliate income, the casino made some of it back, usually about 3% to 10% depending on the game, and when you lost they lost nothing. So at the end of every month, the casino got paid from the game provider.
