Often people will mix up gambling with forex trading, true that they may seem like friends, but definitely not the same family. However, they have some similarities, both have the possibility of losing more money and winning more money. They also have uncertainties over the future. The difference here is that gambling does not have a set of data to analyze and you can’t increase your chance of winning, it’s pure luck. For forex trading, you will need to analyze the past history using forex indicators etc, though it does not confirm a sure win. But it will definitely increase the chance of success. I know of many successful forex traders who make a living out of it (I’m one of them), but have you heard of gamblers making a living? I only know that they have to owe a lot of debts in their lives.
