Is Forex Gambling?

LOL! My new scalping robot shows me what you mean.

It makes a loser in 1 second, but not much and a profit in some minutes, but a bit more and even a bit more often.

But if “they” would set the spread higher, that would not work anymore. :rolleyes:

Let’s bet on how many posts this thread will have before it’s realized as no longer being of any benefit.

purplepatchforex · October 17, 2010, 2:33am

Certainly not, I never bet on anything - that’s just gambling :rolleyes:

Synergistik · October 17, 2010, 3:25am

Is it?

Oh yes, betting is gambling, and I’m not going to argue about it OK

However Forex trading is a different matter, as we can see some of the greatest forex philosophers of our times have clearly pondered very deep thoughts on this subject. I have been considering getting in touch with one of the greatest thinkers, theorists and philosophers the world has ever seen about his matter - i.e. Stephen Hawking.

I feel that it is only a person of this calibre that can come up with an answer to such a deep problem as to whether if trading Forex is gambling or not! It is only someone like this that can come up with theories and answers to ‘[B]The Big Question[/B]’, someone that can propose solutions to problems such as [B]What existed before the BIG BANG?[/B], and [B]In quantum theory, can one thing be in two states at the same time?[/B], maybe forex is like quantum Physics - it’s gambling and not gambling at the same time - aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!

Personally - I don’t give a f*** !!! :eek:

I have never considered Forex trading as a gamble! If you were trading without leverage would you be asking the same question?

I consider it as investing, but rather in socks and bond it’s with currency!

It seems others have the same dilema

It’s like a sore that you know you shouldn’t pick but just can’t help it.

DrYdEn217 · May 12, 2011, 3:13pm

its playing probabilities and if you have an edge you win

Sweet_Pip · May 12, 2011, 3:44pm

Yes I’ve invested in socks with a small fortune of currency, and from the number of them the dryer ate, to having boys that constantly wear out a toe or heel, the small holdings of onesies don’t retain much value unfortunately

^^^ absolutely loving this response

speaking of investing… would any of you invest in something that has an equity curve like this? How’s that for a draw down? Now that’s gambling!

in case you were wondering… that’s the Dow Jones Industrial :32:
