Day trading success rate is <1 % of traders make any money,according detailed searches on google, by searching for success rate of day traders.Scalping is even riskier, because the scalper  risks more and takes small profits.Would the trader not be better off, trading longer term and swing trading?

Scalpers get defeated for the same reasons as intraday price action gurus defeated.

Most scalpers get scalped, this is a very well known proverb in trading.

 

forum educational charlatans start attacking members, when the reality and truth is posted.

Here are results of back tests, using same strategy to scalp trades versus longer term swing trading.Scalping lost more money  than swing trading, swing trading has higher probability of becoming profitable, depending on the strength of strategy.

    • Zscaler Inc., Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Zscaler Inc., (ZS:NASDAQ): Daily Chart, 25 September 23 ZS Stock Market Analysis: We have been monitoring this stock as we were mainly looking for continuation higher after what seemed to be an initial move to the upside followed by a corrective downward move. At this stage the main scenarios are two. Either we just made wave (i) of {c} and we are looking to resume higher or else we’ve had a short wave {c} and we could be continuing lower.   ZS Elliott Wave Count: Wave (ii) of {c}. ZS Technical Indicators: 20EMA as support.   ZS Trading Strategy: Looking for longs into wave (iii).

    • WD Gann Said over 100 years ago "When TIME & PRICE BALANCE, the trend HAS to change" . Yes, there is a definite maths relationship, Via Gann or Elliot-waves. The pity is I cannot get Gann Angles on IG as they are not properly defined as per Gann, and do NOT REMAIN FIXED AT THOSE ANGLES WHEN YOU CHANGE TO ANY TIMEFRAME!!!!!!!! Even the Gann fan angles, used by all brokers, are a joke. These angles are not set arbitrarily as the system allows, and no means to measure angles!!!!

One buys assets at low prices & sells them high.To break it down, traders study charts, news, and economic indicators to spot potential opportunities. They use technical analysis to identify patterns and trends and fundamental analysis to assess the health of a market. Timing is key – traders aim to enter and exit positions at the right moments to maximize profit.Also, there are some tips on how to make money fast – they're out there, and they work. But remember, trading isn't a guaranteed shortcut to quick cash. It takes discipline, risk management, and continuous learning.
