Scalping, Daytrading, Swingtrading, without distinction these all TRY to accomplish the same thing: SQUEEZE SOME MONEY OUT OF THE MARKET. If you try for 10 years to distinguish between the above "methodologies", in all likelihood you will still be a loser. If you work pretty hard for 10 years trying to solve the "squeeze money out of the market" riddle, you might have learned something of value. Don't get fooled by a bunch of cheap scalping, swinging, trending MM guys. nononsense
