Quote from ElectricSavant:

How can trading be "not gambling" when there is a "win loss ratio"?

ES

In fact, if one has an approach where a "win/loss ratio" makes sense (at trade level), he surely has a wrong approach and is losing $$$ ;-)

Michael....How could you even ask such a question? (Or did you forget April Fools Day was last month? Then again, you're just bored down there in AZ and trolling everyone for a laugh?)

Of course trading is not gambling. Anyone who believes trading IS gambling, should stop trading immediately! (Gambling is for fools, looking for a thrill.)
