I agree with your opinion, sir, trading is different from gambling, if gambling only relies on chancy, but if you trade, you can plan ahead.
yeah this gambler thing only for noob or only for people who dont know about trading, we can actually predict the market movement, because there is too many variabel who make move market, our job is only to analyst and execution, hahaa

we define first what gambling is and what trade is. gambling only relies on luck from choice by risking money. Whereas trade is trade that uses analysis to predict prices.

But trade can also be done like gambling, by risking all the money with a lot of feeling without analysis. I think trading like that can be called trading with a gambling system

The presumption of the factor of speculation and the possibility of a large profit or loss that can be accepted by a trader just by sitting alone makes many people equate it with gambling. But actually forex trading is not gambling but pure trade.
This is what makes forex trading different from gambling:
Gambling: Decision making based on profitability and speculation
Forex: Decision making based on technical and fundamental analysis
Gambling: The results obtained are detrimental to one party
Forex: The results obtained are mutually beneficial
Gambling: There are no products or goods traded, numbers are not included in goods or products
Forex: There are products or goods that are traded in the form of currencies
Gambling: The results of gambling are completely unpredictable
Forex: There are limits and controls for clear profits and losses
Gambling: Uncertain
Forex: When the price is saturated where the situation is too high or too low, the price will experience a correction
Gambling: Prohibited by law and state
Forex: There are official regulations from countries such as Indonesia which are under BAPPEBTI, or under regulators from other countries such as FCA UK, MFSA, ASIC, CFTC / NFA and the like.
From the real differences above it is quite visible that forex is different from gambling, and of course you also have begun to be able to conclude whether forex is the same as gambling or not.
I think forex depends on how you trade if you trade with the knowledge that you have, I don't think it's gambling unless you trade with Lemoar the coin might be called gambling

if I think trading can be called gambling if you use a gambling system too, like trading in full lots and also without any perfect analysis beforehand.

Even though trading is called gambling is not a problem the most important thing for me is that it is legal to use and the state does not prohibit it.
quite like that in my personal opinion.

Trading has a foundation and foundation, such as analysis and strategy.
but for gambling there is only luck.
It can be seen clearly that trading with gambling is different.

Trading will certainly have 2 perceptions between gambling and not gambling, it has been a long time ago and it is only natural how we react 8)

It's really shortsighted to think forex is a gamble because gambling won't be able to get consistent profit, gambling will definitely lose in the end unlike forex.

the perception of equating trading with gambling is very wrong, because gambling is without rules.
different from trading which always uses the right calculations and rules such as analysis etc.

yes right, gambling has no rules or likes, so it can't be consistent profit.

I think trading is not gambling because there is a certain analysis to see the direction of future price movements.

this depends on our perspective. but in my opinion forex is not gambling
