Is tradingjust gambling?

A straight answer · Getting started

01The short answer
ANSWERTrading without a plan, a tested edge and fixed risk is close to gambling. Trading with a backtested method, a stop-loss on every trade and a fixed risk per trade is a skill you can measure and improve.
02Key points
  • Gambling has a negative expected value by design; a tested trading plan aims for a positive one.
  • Fixed risk per trade makes results measurable.
  • A journal shows whether you have an edge or just luck.
