Now we know the following:
Lock in as many profits as possible, either partially or
at the 100% retracement level
Alternatively, close 0.05 lots from 0.10 lots, move the
stop loss to breakeven, and are risk-free
At any point in time, even if the market reverses against you
at 0.05 lots, you still have some profits.
These are lessons
learned from the whole story, and only the market can teach
you this, not your mentors in most cases.
So you should treat them as a lesson rather than just a loss.
Unlike gambling, which is based on your instincts with no
backed-up data, trading involves
analyzing the market and
learning from past experiences to improve your
performance.

Trading VS Gambling Difference:
Decision Making
In any financial instrument,
be it stocks or crypto, trading
positions are always opened based on certain criteria and
decision factors depending on the trader's
objectives and
trading style. We all have different approaches to how we
analyze and comprehend charts.
For example, I only open trade positions if the following
conditions are met:
The market's overall direction
is trending based on
the higher timeframes (bullish or bearish)
The price retests a certain level from the point of my
entry

The price breaks the neckline of a chart pattern or
formation.
These criteria are specific to my trading style and objectives,
other traders may have different criteria. Traders need to
have a clear and defined set of criteria for opening positions
to minimize risks and increase their chances of success in the
Forex markets.
With
these conditions, I know when to enter a trade and
when to stay out of the markets if these conditions are not
met.
Therefore, my trading decisions
are based on specific
criteria. However, in gambling, positions are only staked

based on the hope of gain, which is commonly referred to as
luck.
I believe I have explained the
key difference between a
gambler and a profitable trader. Let's recall the four pillars of
successful trading:
Technical analysis
Risk management
Trader psychology
Market psychology
Now that you understand the
differences between trading
and gambling, if you want to achieve the dream of becoming
a multi-millionaire trader, focus on these 4 Cs.
