Scalping, day trading or swing trading: which fits you

How the three trading styles differ in time, risk and fees, and how to choose one.

Key points

Scalping

Very short trades chasing small moves. It needs fast execution and attention, and fees add up quickly because you trade so often.

Example fees on YAP

Buy $100$1.45

Buy $100 with an invite$1.30

Sell $100$1.00

Positions are opened and closed within the same day. You avoid overnight risk but still need to watch the market for hours.

You hold for days or weeks to catch a bigger move. Fewer trades means lower fees, but you have to sit through dips.

Pick the style that fits the time you really have. Track your results for a month and keep what works.
