The choice between day trading and swing trading depends on various factors, such as personality, goals, risk tolerance, capital, and time availability. Day trading involves opening and closing positions within the same day, requiring more time, attention, and capital, but offering more opportunities and flexibility. Swing trading involves holding positions for several days or weeks, requiring less time and capital, but providing stability and simplicity. Both styles have advantages and disadvantages, so choose the one that suits your preferences and test it on a demo account before trading with real money. You can also combine or switch between styles based on market conditions and personal circumstances.
If both traders make the same % or absolute amount, but one spends 6 hours a day in front of the screen, the other 30 minutes, then the answer is obvious.
