Higher form of gambling.

Everything comes down to putting on exchanges where the plausible win is higher than the likely misfortune. As such, stacking the chances to support you. The more "Conjunction Factors" you have to support you on anyone exchange, the higher the likelihood is that the exchange will profit. Forex trading is a definitive type of betting. We get the chance to audit past price action before putting on an exchange.

I do not understand why people use "Gambling" word with the Forex market. Forex is never been as gamble work. These both are different words and we can not compare them with each other.

I agree with you up to the point! Forex market and games of luck are compared only by those who don't want to go futher and study the market in details. The thing is, they think there's no system or rules here. But that's wrong! you cannot rely on luck or intuition in forex.

Many people really consider a stock exchange as a gambling. However, it would be better for all gamblers to start trading on Forex. You really can earn good money using one's wits not just luck.

Forex is for me the hardest market to trade. ( Still working on something)
Futures is for me the easiest way possible (short term a few minutes)
Stocks are meant for me for long term trading and not for day trading (< 1-2 weeks)

It is true that there is some percentage of a gamble when opening up a Forex position. No expert, no matter how long they have been trading and analyzing the Forex market, can tell you in full certainty what the U.S. Dollar will do today. There are many tools that can be used in order to help you make a more educated decision, but do not be fooled by so called Forex experts when they tell you they have it figured out.

In trading you can shift the odds in your favor, with gambling you can´t (unless you are some card counting savant)

[ootl10]

if you use randomness you can shift from against to less against in gambling but it is not trading

Most people treat trading as if it was gambling.

Most people treat trading as if it was gambling.

Yes because profits from the market are unlimited. Ease of making a trade and a random gain create false impression that you earn consistently there. Market cheats you in a very smart and subtle way so you keep trying.
