Summary: The moral problem of trading - The idolatry of money - An approach to avoid a wrong behavior.
Online trading a practice make speculation, an uncorrect behavior of
individuals in the moral religious context.
Speculation
is a practice that is negative in a human perspective, regardless of the
collateral effects on the market because making money with money is a wrong activity with reference to religious principles.
Trading
causes a dangerous addiction to money that leads an individual to spend his
life looking for profit; this is contrary to religious morality.

"cause of this situation is found in our relationship with money, since we calmly accept its dominion over ourselves and our societies. The current financial crisis can make us overlook the fact that it originated in a profound human crisis: the denial of the primacy of the human person! We have created new idols. The worship of the ancient golden calf (cf. Ex 32:1-35) has returned in a new and ruthless guise in the idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a truly human purpose. The worldwide crisis affecting finance and the economy lays bare their imbalances and, above all, their lack of real concern for human beings; man is reduced to one of his needs alone: consumption."

6:10 -- For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have
wandered from their faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

How to invest ethically: summary of guidelines
In order to maintain a correct personal behavior avoiding any kind of immoral attitude in the religious context, an individual should
operate with a medium-long term horizon (a period of more than 1 year as established by economic and accounting principles) avoiding any type of modality, information and
instruments for the pursuit of profit in the short term period, even those not exceeding the legal limits which, anyway, are different in each country. Stock investing should be limited to the long-term ownership of companies operating in ethical business; furthermore, any hazard in the expected return on the invested capital must be avoided.

Since the completely safe asset does not exist, a person can never accumulate enough to feel totally safe. The search for such security is a chasing after the wind – we are never satiated, no matter how much we possess. It is wiser not to begin the pursuit (e.g. Ecclesiastes 5:10; 6:7).
