Hi. Somehow I do understand what you are saying. But to me it is still gambling. Why? Because it is driven by the same factors. Greed and not knowing when to stop. Professionals in trading, just as the professional gambler, do not chase losses. They just minimize them. They do take losses as well. But not so high like us. And they seem to have limits. We, addicts, we don’t. For us, if we get to break even, we go again, maybe this time we also win more and more…For them, if they get to break even after a downfall, they call iit a a day, they go home. Investopedia says that trading without deep knowledge is gambling. Like if someone holds a losing position without knowing the exact reason why that stock is going down, and simply hoping it will come back on green, that is already gambling.
Be strong, keep it up, don’t give chances for relapse. The goal should be to stop completely, not partially.
Keep it up!
