Trading vs gambling

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.
