Those who have small $5k accounts don't realize that first 100% goes toward commissions, $4 buck fees adds up, do five trades a day times time 250 days is $5,000. Whereas swing trading is less trades since holding over a few days or weeks and going for larger profits. It is not any easier to learn, it is tough to trade before running out of money while you are learning. And it takes for some-like me, years/decades to find the tricks and still learning. Haaa LOL
