💯💯💯 Trading is not gambling – if you have a system, risk management, and the right mindset. But it will be gambling – if you act like a gambler.
If you trade by randomly entering, thinking “it will definitely go up today,” without stop-loss, without backtesting: that is gambling.
But if you:
Have a system with a high probability of winning,
Manage risk tightly (risk 1–2% per trade),
Do not let emotions drive decisions,
=> Then you are a professional investor/trader, working with controlled risk – like other professions.
