So, Can i treat trading as a profession like a normal job and investment as a business where i own something for myself??

Ideally yeah, but as Fitzgerald says, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” What I am trying to say is that most people end up mixing up trading and investing.
