I don't mean to begin a flame war here, but I have been performing some cash management clinic, as well as studying the art of technical analysis plus I say Forex is far out of gambling. Why? For a couple of factors. Number 1: Technical analysis is not anything more than plogy, so it is the interruptation of greed and fear, rather than some random numbers match. Technical analysis isn't a random act of gambling, as there are definate patterns to the plogy of buying and selling. Sure, technical analysis isn't an specific science....but niether is plogy, yet nobody calls plogy gambling.
Once more, I don't mean to start a flame war, but to put it bluntly, the title of the thread reminds me of this controversery using firearms. Are you really gonna blame your self, or are you wanna blame THE GUN for blowing your OWN brains out? It seems to me that only ametures blame their loss and pain to the Forex, while the professionals accept FULL responsibility for their own mistakes. . .learn from them. . .and go on to make millions. It is that same old nasty trait the bad absence, but the wealthy seem to have an abdue of, it is called PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
