Difference between gambling and trading..

[Stuart]

Trading is knowledge based, without having knowledge on how to use the trading sites/tools available on these sites, you simply can't trade, while on the other hand, gambling is different, as it is solely on luck. Luck runs the gambling sections, there can be some games that one will know so well, and might have received medals for it, but on the play with someone else, who is probably new in the gaming system might become a winner and everything changes.

Gambling requires luck and
Trading requires knowledge, though, there can be some cases where luck will be required to win some big fish.

Anyone can trade but will you be profitable is the question that you ask yourself. Gambling is a luck based game and trading isn't a game but a skill which you need to learn properly for you to make profit in it. I don't believe that there's any form of luck in trading because if you don't know what you are doing as a trader, you are gambling with trading at that moment.

That is it because when trading and such person doesn't have the right knowledge to trade them there are every chances for them to lose their capital completely but when you have the right knowledge about trading you would gained much profits while trading, but in gambling you can't know what amount you would earned. Gambling is fun and whenever you are trying to make profits from it then it's that time you lose more.

Honestly, most people confuse “effort” with “edge”. Just because you study charts doesn’t mean you’re not gambling. Most day traders are under-capitalized gamblers with TradingView open. The real difference is feedback loops. Trading (if done right) offers structured feedback and risk-adjusted outcomes. Gambling rarely does

But be careful. The more you trade emotionally, the closer you’re slipping into gambling without noticing. The more you gamble with awareness, the more strategic it becomes. It’s a thin line. Both are human rituals of hope. One wears a suit. The other wears a hoodie. Doesn’t mean either of them knows anything, unless they can lose and learn at the same time

Yeah there’s a difference for sure, even if they may feel similar on the surface. Gambling is mostly luck, you place a bet, hope it hits, and that’s it. No real control, no strategy that works long term.

Trading, if you’re doing it properly, is more about skill and research. You’ve got tools, data, strategies, and ways to manage risk. It doesn’t mean it’s easy, but at least you can analyse, learn, and improve over time. Gamblers rely on luck, traders rely on learning. Big difference.
