Gambler
I don't gamble in my life in casino or online, I just don't like it. I've been under impression that trading is for me more like work endeavor. That means that all my risky trading I don't consider as gambling but work/trading. Well after yesterdays blow up I come in today and go against trend, then "can't" stop myself but I average and hold until I get profit. It's essence of gambling, doing something just because of money and thrill and counting on luck. Luck??!!
It's so fine line between trading and gambling it's almost invisible. I for sure don't want to gamble consciously, that is good. But apparently I've been doing a lot of gambling pretending that it's trading.
Gambling profits +18 full size pips.
Update, just one quick scalp in usd/jpy +9 full size pips, +27 pips for a day.
I've been thinking about gambling and my current thoughts are that I should start look at trading as kind of gamble. With that I will have losses on my mind more then now, maybe little less denial.
