    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Understood... but if you and I were flipping an unfair coin for money, for a long enough period of time, don't you think its plausible that eventually one of us might notice that one side of the coin seems to be coming up a lot more than the other side? At the point that one of us is willing to...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Trying to formally define some of these words wasn't so successful the first time in moving the conversation forward, but here was what I was able to dig up: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gambling gam⋅ble    ˈgæmbəl / [gam-buhl] verb, -bled, -bling...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    There isn't any point explaining my opinion or beliefs to you further because (1) you're clearly not interested in hearing anything I have to say or having a productive discussion with anybody who holds opinions contrary to your own, (2) no matter what I say or what you believe, you're clearly...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    EXACTLY! +1000000 Lots of people like to call themselves "professional traders" but they seem to only focus on the "trader" part and forget about the "professional" part.

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Wow, that was so clever.... I am so impressed.... really... You should also consider being a motivational speaker... or perhaps even write a column on proper etiquette and manners. At this point its not even worth responding to you anymore because obviously basic courtesy and professionalism...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Its certainly clear that one of us is gambling. BTW, you're real good at making strong arguments and backing them up with solid facts. If you ever get tired of gambling in the markets you should consider pursuing a career in being a lawyer -- maybe a prosecutor... trying to get a conviction...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    1. Yes 2. Of course not but thats irrelevant because trading, gambling, or any business or activity that has to do with odds and statistics is judged not on any single event or opportunity but over many many events and opportunities (the long run) 3. Of course.... even if you have a...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    You judged the contents of a book by the title on the cover? You know, its too bad there isn't some famous saying or pun advising people against doing that. FYI, if you don't already have that book on your shelf, and haven't already read it multiple times, perhaps thats been the problem the...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Personally, I would love to hear your official opinion on this topic... although I think I have a pretty good idea what you're going to say (if anything at all).

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    If you read through the posts you'll see that was already tried... it all turns on how you define the word "chance" ... of course if you read the definition of "chance" you'll get your answer, but the skeptics already know everything there is to know in the world so I don't think they even...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    I'll give you a +1 for that but get ready for the same 4 guys to come on and regurgitate their same tired list of 6 "catchphrases" without bothering to cite any sources or provide any links to any of their baseless claims and misguided notions.

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Ok, at first I thought you were just rude, misinformed, and didn't know what you were talking about until I realized that you were also the original poster that started this thread. Now I think I agree with the handful of previous posters who figured out that you are in here just trying to stir...

    NBC has an Erin Burnett problem

    Well I think you would switch jobs... but I think you'd also feel as though you were owed money that was contractually obligated to you. Besides, they're not insolvent, haven't you been paying attention lately? They just got billions of dollars in loans from the U.S. Government. Notice the...

    Oh yah, I'm sure thats exactly what you'd be thinking as you were preparing to sue your employer and take them to court for breach of contract.

    NBC has an Erin Burnett problem

    I thought she made a great point. A lot of these large companies have dozens, if not hundreds of different divisions, departments, and or/subsidiaries. A lot of times these subsidiaries are even legally organized as separate companies that are owned by the same parent/holding company. And...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    That was a pretty weak comeback. I think college boy wins round 1. And I kinda think he's onto something. You really don't sound much like a real trader to me either. Although you are very good at being rude.

    Suggest a Platform to Trade CME E-Mini Euro

    X_TRADER & CQG are the obvious answers... PhotonTrader is the less obvious answer, but just as good (and a lot cheaper) in my opinion.

    Help with the Genesis C++ API

    Usually, that error is the result of one of the following: 1. The declaration of the symbol contains a spelling mistake, such that, it is not the same name as the definition of the symbol. 2. A function was used but the type or number of the parameters did not match the function...
