In my view on this matter, we can say that it is gambling, it is also possible that our analogy here is business. It is very uncertain if we do business out of nowhere without a plan, we can think of it as gambling.

But if we talk about trading and you gamble here, it will not be profitable no matter what you do, it is not good to gamble here if that is what anyone does. Because if this is what you are going to do in trading, it is better to just gamble on cockfighting. Because in trading we pay fees, swaps, spreads, and even if we say that our chances are 50/50, we will still lose.

So if anyone really want to be profitable and sustainable in the actual trade, we must use Fundamental or Technical analysis, either of the two. So it depends on what we do as traders. So for me don't trade if your mindset is that Trading is just the same as gambling.
