Gambling and trading are two different things. Right now, I am trying to improve my strategy on binary options, which is considered gambling because the price could move at any direction. I am staking $10. If the price hits the profit target, then I will win money. However, if it misses the profit target, then I may lose my entire stake. So, is this gambling or trading? Should I create a better risk management strategy?
 
To the best of my knowledge, there's no relationship between trading when it comes to playing poker. Trading is a totally different concept in another field which isn't related to poker but gambling is 100% involved with poker playing.

I know that trading and gambling may seem two different things. However, trading against the house may seem like gambling. Many traders are rarely profitable when they trade against the house. I have been trying to learn how to trade against the house for at least three years without success.
