In poker there is a dealer: you are expected to tip the dealer if you win. In the stock market you pay the dealer win or lose.

Depends on the rake system, in timed games this is the case but more common they take it from the pot so only the winner pays. But typically you win some pots even in a losing session so it's a pedantic point.
