What this lesson covers
Scalping, day trading and swing trading are not ranked from worst to best. They are different demands on your time, attention and temperament, and the right one is the one you can repeat for years. This lesson describes each honestly. Scalping means many trades, short holds, tight stops and constant screen time. Day trading closes positions before the day ends and needs a few focused hours. Swing trading holds for days or weeks and suits people with other commitments, at the cost of wider stops and overnight exposure. It covers the advantages and difficulties of each in both personal and funded accounts, and gives you a way to test a style properly before deciding it does not suit you.
