Every trader must eventually ask: “What kind of trader am I really?” For weeks, I chased quick profits through scalping, only to feel drained and inconsistent. I started journaling each trade and soon discovered I performed best when trades lasted 2–5 days. That’s when I shifted toward swing trading. It gave me time to analyze, plan, and breathe. Your trading type should match your lifestyle and temperament — not just what’s trending. Choosing the right style isn't about speed, it’s about sustainability. Test everything, measure results, and trade where your edge naturally grows.
