Swing trading or daytrading?

if you had to choose between swing trading and daytrading due to capital constraints, which one would you go with? I hear a lot of people say daytrading is over and traders are better off getting used to more relaxed, lower frequency trading styles.

Swing trading, on the other hand, carries some additional risks, among which is overnight risk. So, it looks like both of them have their pros and cons. which one would you choose both from a return on capital and risk profile standpoints? thanks

daytrading, in the hands of the right trader, can be the most profitable strategy around.

all trading is risky. the best way avoid risk is to stop trading...or...you can find out which method fits your personality and manage your risk. swing and day trading do make lots of money.....for brokers. hmm..i wonder why brokers give supposed discounts to people who trade frequently.

what do you mean by saying swing traders make lots of money for brokers. Swing trading is not a high frequency/high commish trading style….
