Aloha! We are Glenn & Reid, founders of Hawai'i Trading Academy.

Are you gambling or are you trading? When it feels good just to look at the charts, you may have an addiction, a trading/chart addiction.

Gambling - take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

Gamblers want it NOW

Traders know it will take time. (Delayed gratification).

Gambling addiction vs trading addiction

If you label yourself a trader...DELETE the word “GAMBLING” from your dictionary.

If you use this word, you are already skewing your strategy.

Gambling can be emotional decision making.

High risk over a short period of time. In hopes of high reward

Trading is minimizing risk over time while increasing your profits.

There are professionals in both fields and there are amateurs

Which role do you fit in? Amatuer gambler/ trader, professional?

Showing the difference between trader and gambler trader:

Traders is playing off of strategy while gambler is playing off of luck

How do you deal with losses? Blame the market/learn and move on

How do you deal with wins? Take the praise/learn and move on

Gambling - exciting

Trading - boring

Gambling stops at the table (pau go have a drink and celebrate or basking in your losses).

Trading continues after it’s closed (journaling/study/work).

Whatever we win, we will spend because it's “free money”.

​​Investing and gambling both involve risking capital in the hopes of making a profit.

• In both gambling and investing, a key principle is to minimize risk while maximizing reward.
• Gamblers have fewer ways to mitigate losses than investors do.
• Investors have more sources of relevant information than gamblers do.
• Over time, the odds will be in your favor as an investor and not in your favor as a gambler.

We clarified the difference between gambling and trading.

Look back and if you find yourself doing gamblining tendencies, know where to change/improve.

Trading is a business. Be the professional. Take it seriously. Be wise.

Trade to compound your money over time. Don’t fall for the get rich quick.

Our mission: Cultivate & sustain profitable traders.
