Trading is not same thing as Gambling

[jeraldskie11]

Yes, profit is profit.  We do not need to compare how much others earn.  What matters is that your strategy actually works.  Even if we just have just a little bit of capital, it will grow over time as we gain an advantage.  We recognize that having a large capital is beneficial, but it is pointless if you do not have a profitable plan; there is no difference between those who have small capital but lose money.

You're right. It just wastes time to compare the profits with other people. We must focus on our own target for profits. If it reaches our target, I think it is enough. Even if we only has a smaller capital, sure it will raise if we can get profits. We can invest with bigger capital in the next cycle. So, we don't need to feel bad with our capital. The people who invest in bigger capital, they also have the risk to lose with bigger amount of money.

That's also where we can see if you really have confidence in your strategy that can grow your capital in the long run. If we compare our capital with others, that's where we can see that you have a problem with your trades. It just shows that you are not really ready for trading and still need knowledge about it. However, not everything can be learned right away, the rest comes from experience itself.

I think trading is not like gambling if we have the knowledge and skills to make analysis and develop strategies. Although the crypto market is difficult to predict, crypto has proven to survive until today, of course what I am discussing is the top coins.
The top 10 coins are still surviving, and I think the future is clear.

True, we can make analysis in trading if we have good knowledge and experience. But in gambling, this can't be helpful because most gambling games rely on the luck. Top coins are the best choices in crypto trading or investment. This can increase the chance to get profits. Meanwhile in gambling, there is no something like this. Every gambling game is almost the same, they mostly are based on the luck factor only.

I think that just entering into trading does not make it trading, it is basically called gambling. Because if we invest in the currency we will trade without knowing well about the currency, it is natural that we will lose. In my opinion, crypto currency trading is not that easy, just enter and invest whenever you want. For this, we need to know a lot of things, it is necessary to have an idea about the market.

For me the biggest difference is that the market will always be based on technical foundations to reach a result, but not in the game. In the game you can operate, do anything and you can win even knowing that you have no strategies. Strategies also play a role in the game, but for me trading is not like the game. In trading there will always be foundations, there will be knowledge of why something happened, it is always like that.

For those who are gamblers, trading is not really for them. Trading is not something that anyone can enter and trade. In fact, almost everyone can profit or lose by gambling. Because gambling is completely dependent on luck, and when we do trading, we analyze the currency we are going to trade well and then we invest there, even then we cannot be 100% sure that we will get profit here. So there is a lot of difference between gambling and trading.

There is a vast difference between gambling and trading. Even an ignorant person can bet his money on gambling if he wants, but to trade, he needs to know about various info and analysis. If you blindly buy and sell a coin by putting money only in trading, then it is not possible to accept it as trading. You need sufficient knowledge to trade. Although gaining knowledge does not guarantee profit from trading, trading can definitely give returns for those who can do good analysis. But gambling is a completely different matter, where he may gain or lose a certain amount.

Those gamblers can learn trading, there is no problem that the gamblers join trading. However, they mustn't do it with the same way in gambling. They must know that trading has a different approach, it requires sufficient knowledge. I guess there are many gamblers who do trading as well. So, trading is actually for everyone who wants to learn it. Even a gambler, it is okay to try trading as long as he/she doesn't apply the same approach as in gambling.

yeah, that's right. And actually the difference is very clear. Gambling which relies more on luck than real analysis is clearly different from trading which requires real analysis both from a technical, fundamental and sentimental perspective. Usually a trader fails to make a profit because he is hampered by one of the analyzes he makes. Or because he left the plan made with thorough analysis due to not being able to control his emotions. While in gambling they lose and win only based on luck.

Yes you can tell about this difference between gambling and trading.  But something about trading is that if you trade futures it will treat you like gambling.  High leverage always behaves like gambling.  You can never make a 100% guaranteed prediction no matter how expert you are.  So if you take trade entry with high leverage there will be high possibility of liquidation.  So in some cases trading can be completely compared to gambling.  But in some cases where these two differ is spot trading but here also you cannot invest the entire fund in just 1 coin.

        -      You're right mate, the only problem that other gamblers who enter the trading category have is that they think that trading is no different from gambling because the risk they take in gambling is the same as trading.

This is where they make a mistake and it seems that they don't really understand the differences between the two, and that's what they don't want to know,
so that's why they have that mindset about it.

Sure, future trading is a bit similar with gambling because there is a lack factor there. And the risk is as high as in gambling, too. When we fail in our prediction, we may lose all our money immediately. That's why I don't like future trading, I only use spot trading. In Spot trading, we can be a bit safe and there is no way to lose all money directly. Yes, we can trade few coins in spot trading but we don't trade too many coins because it only makes the difficulty.

Futures trading is very attractive because here you can take a very large amount of money by multiplying that money several times. After taking an entry here today, if it moves towards your entry, you can double or more your original money in just a few minutes or hours. People jump into futures trading because of such greed.  However, even if own funds are small, trades are taken for very large amounts due to which the own funds are liquidated very quickly. There is a risk of complete gambling here. And futures trade behaves in a way that is completely comparable to gambling. But those involved in futures trading do not want to treat it as gambling.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So there is a lot of difference between gambling and trading.

Yes, the difference is abysmal, in fact I am a player too, and I am a trader, although lately I have not done much trading but I do like to do both activities because obviously things here are different, I have friends who when they get into trading and they see futures, they see it as a game, they think that a move they can make will make them win and without any foundation and without any type of analysis, they only do it because they believe that that is what will happen, so trading can never be seen as a game, under any circumstances.

trading is not a game because in trading it takes knowledge and experience. we must be able to make analysis and develop strategies and also predict market movements in order to gain profit. If trading without the right knowledge, it is just gambling that will bring losses.

It might interest to tell you that gambling also requires knowledge and experience to win them. You can't wake up and say you are gambling and you are going to make money and there are many believe by some gamblers that they can gamble for fun bit I'm not sure if there actual real traders that trade for fun, the purpose is money.

There are variety of gambling that you can't make any win unless you have master your strategy juts like the way you do in trading but I still believes that trading is trading and gambling is gambling but you can gamble while doing some sort of trading but you can't gamble and think you are trading.

Trading is indeed not a game on which  this isnt something that you can be able to deal up without having any analysis and without having any considerations on which you would really be needing up to consider and we do know that trading isnt just that for fun and entertainment on which like with gambling. Using up your own common sense would really be able to tell you on whats their main differences. Trading could become a gambling at the time that you wont really be applying any analysis into it on which its really that best that you do really know at least on what you should gonna do. Its always that been recommended that you do really need up to make the right dealing into such certain thing. If you are playing gambling then you should be taking the gambler way but if you are dealing up with trading then you would be needing up to be that becoming a trader way.
