In my view, forex trading involves speculation on currency price movements, but it differs from gambling due to the presence of analysis, strategy, and risk management. I have plenty of built in tools in my HFM platform to control or limit risk, including leverage, lot size, stop loss, etc. Successful forex trading requires knowledge, skill, and discipline, whereas gambling typically relies more on chance. While both involve uncertainty, forex trading is based on informed decisions and market analysis rather than pure luck.
