Switching from Swing Trading to Day Trading

A trader recently emailed me about potentially switching from swing trading to day trading.

Some of his hesitations are:

  • Sunk cost into his current swing trading process
  • Significant learning curve to switch to day trading
  • A reliable source for intraday data
  • Confidence in day trading idea generation

I made this switch over 25 years ago, so I have lots of thoughts on it.

But I want to poll traders on the list to get your thoughts.

Have you switched from swing trading to day trading?

How did it go? What advice would you give to someone considering the move?

Hit reply and let me know.
