Thread: Stop fooling yourself There is no system

If you're playing probabilities and performing that sort of thing, for those who know how to work it I guess it could be considered a form of gambling, and that is fine, as sim stated, shouldn't be a negative thing.

Are you really into institutional or heaven forbid, insider trading? Riskless stuff, without charts, moving very well and so on. Do you care to inform us about those arbs that are good?

BTW gambling could be defined as http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gambling. Without knowing the outcome A sport of ticks, with cash. Does not need to be a coin toss of course.

Just because you are'trading' doesn't mean you're not gambling, but at precisely the exact same time it doesn't mean that you are, so it depends upon the trader and what he's doing. Basicly, what I am trying to say is, you can not call each trader a gambler.

LOL, well my transactions are not predicated on charts I will tell you that far.

I was only asking a hypothetical.

Is trading on the listing of gambling? There is no question most out there are gambling. I and have no problem if someone wants to call what I do gaming, according to definition I guess it is.

who cares. Don't really care to argue semantics.

I'm yo could say gambling.

BUT I wouldn't call it gambling, for instance I know the odds are in my favour, and also my SL is currently at 1pip, so there is no effective risk and possibly 4x's the profit potential than my initial SL ( 40pips profit, 10sl )


ain't gambling thats Wise

Ofcourse ej's turned right into a lifeless sideways pig but you get the point, theres an occasion possibility with no way to predict

Sadly gambling does return to a game of figures, you find something which will make you ( not every time ) over all profitable then you repeat it for ever more or till it strangely stops functioning.

The distinction with a GAMBLE is the odds are generally necessarily against you, in which with trading ( not gambling ), you may just trade when the odds are not against you.

Additionally you can not place a #1000 wager on a horse race and once the horse 1/2 way round drops to second place, exit the wager to get a #100 reduction rescue the #900

Or allow the horse keep moving around in 1st place to keep making you more cash.
