Hello,
I'm trading M1 timeframe at the moment, so it's purely day trading... :)

I'm trying to trade M5, H1 and D and occasionally even W. I guess this attempt qualifies me being a swing trader. Trading false breakouts with a trailing stop loss gives the impressions of a day trader. But still, my trading is still forming. Timing seems to be derived from M5 and direction from H1 an D.

I prefer swing trading. Not that I would argue day trading is bad. It's just that my skills and available trading tools are much better suited to be able to make a profit out of swing trades. Some comments seem to imply day trading is more risky. Not sure I have the same opinion. In my book, as long as a trade is open you are at risk. Swing trades are open longer so this is more risky then day trading. I accept this by compensating this with less transaction costs, and higher average profit per trade.

I have been having success this week day trading. Using FXCM Strong/Weak app, I find the most trending currency on the daily time frame and look to day trade within the trend. I use my Delta analysis to confirm possible price movement for the next few days.

I am trading on daily basis following a macro approach.

I take about 15 trades/month. I don't measure ROI monthly. The shortest timeframe I use to evaluate my systems is a rolling 3 months. With 15 trades/month there are just not enough trades in 1 month to draw any performance conclusion. I you want to see my statisctics, just click on my profile, as I am sharing my account here on myfxbook.

Day trade is nice, but swing trade for weeks / months IMO is the path to richness. I can hold position for weeks and months. I see many people often hold losses so the equity growth line (yellow line) is below the equity line (red line). But seldom do I see people let the winners run.
I don't mind holding my winners and cut my losers quickly. You can see that in my account's graph.

Hendra, about the holding positions for months.. Although I tend to agree on the principle, I don't do it because over time swaps just keep eating too much of the potential profit. Do you have special account conditions where this is not an issue for you? I tried to have a look at your account to understand how you do it, but a part from the graph, everything is hidden so I was not able to learn from that. Any chance sharing the trade history? I understand people don't share their account details, however I don't see the harm in sharing a trading history. Any comment would be appreciated. Oh and... congrats on your performance. Tks.

Hi growthera, my account is interest free. I paid more spread in each trade for the privilege of interest free account. I neither get any positive nor negative carry. Some brokers allow you to do that if you tell them you want interest free account.
