The difference between a trader and a gambler is frequency. A gambler does it once. A trader is committed to take the natural fluctuations in their bottom line. A gambler gives up control and takes little responsibility for the outcome. A trader sees the outcome as a learning experience. A chance to take that knowledge and let it pay over time. A gambler sees a success as a pay day. A trader see it is an opportunity. A gambler focuses on luck, a trader focus on repeatable actions. A traders can tell the difference between an aberration, for a gambler there is no distinction.
