Do daytraders make more money than swing traders?

Wide Tailz · Jan 17, 2025

Downshifting the discussion, do daytraderz have a better likelihood of not going broke / bankrupt, or swing traders?

Who is most likely to survive the experience without going insane? Or even get a happy ending?

Took me years to learn risk management using options, learn how long to keep them. I don't wait for trends to start, I seek to find ends of major trends, so I lose majority of attempts in futures, so system has to overcome losses by having correct number of options, length of time kept and for overall trade to be profitable, in other words lost on futures side but options made overall profit. When system does find nine year relative extremes, goal is 75% of 9 year range plus adding on few to couple dozen add on positions. Many rollovers. Currencies i convert from US Dollar to currency I think are bottoming and trade their markets, often times early, but options help.

Some markets don't have options or enough of them so have to try to match them up with stock options dealing with futures like lumber.

Most traders work on being with trend but no matter timeframe, I been opposite.

Nice approach! How'd you manage patience to wait for those nine year extremes?
