  2. Any type of stock strategy you are skilled at implementing and apply good risk management and trade management skills will make you money. It does not depend at all on the strategy, it depends 100% on you and your experience, background, risk and trade management skills, emotional stability and skills. No strategy is designed to inherently make more money than the other in my opinion.

    Some people make more money on covered calls than others do swing trading futures lol.

  4. I see that so many people are voting for scalping method, but no one is coming forth with daily records?

    scalping has a great negative edge going against it?
