I was in this trade for 6+ hours before finally closing my position once price crossed back over my safety line. Staying patient wasn’t easy, but it reminded me why I’m starting to lean more into swing trading. Lately, I’ve been testing the difference between scalping and swing trading to see which style fits me best. A scalper is looking to get in and out quickly—sometimes within seconds or minutes—taking smaller profits over multiple trades. A swing trader, on the other hand, is willing to hold a trade for hours (or even days) to capture a much larger move. It requires more patience, but if your analysis is right, the reward can be significantly bigger than grabbing a quick 1:1 scalp. Neither strategy is “better.” It comes down to your personality, risk management, and trading plan. Right now, I’m enjoying giving my trades more room to breathe instead of rushing to take profits.
