Actually you can swing trade intraday, but usually the difference is that daytrading means you go home flat every day. Swing trading, or pullback trading, tends to be a 2-3 day type trade. The reason I say you can swing trade intraday is because there are pullbacks in every time frame.
Yep (Virtual, meaning not real)- I just graduated college, so I am more educated in INVESTING, rather than TRADING.
I am still learning the ropes and trying to understand this trading deal.
So, swing trading would be 2-3 day investments, and daytrading would just be intra day investments- scalping would be however long it takes to get a few ticks up or at the loss level.
