For me, before we go to trade at least we know the market conditions, although we realize that we can not know at all but at least know the characteristics. If we do not know at all then we are trading on a couple that we do not know is the same as gambling, no planning, and no clear target will result in good losses it depends on the merchant if you trade forex as gambling, then it is gambling. Just throw a coin, here it is. But if you analyze using a lot of techniques or some, then it is not gambling anymore. Just like building a company, or opening a store. If you gamble, you just put money into the business and start. Then you do not care about accounting, managerial, advertising. After a while the business went bankrupt. Well, this is a gamble.
