Trading in the financial markets is, in the eyes of broad public often perceived as some sort of gambling. And although this statement has little to do with the truth, there are plenty of traders who actually behave like gamblers when trading and unknowingly support this claim.
People are driven to gamble by the desire to make a quick buck. The problem is that a quick profit usually equals to high risk and low probability of success. And since financial markets are considered a risky market where one can make a lot of money, many people automatically associate trading in financial markets with gambling.
