I trade gold mostly on M5.


Technically it’s scalping, but I only take trades aligned with higher timeframe direction.


Scalping without trend context can be dangerous on XAUUSD because volatility changes very quickly.

 
day swing definately better on many fronts costs less noise more reliable etc

With all due respect, impatience, boredom, nor FOMO are valid reasons for jumping from swing trading to scalping.

As a side note, an EA can avoid all of those emotions if you can code your strategy.

Yeap, totally true...
 
For me, M15-D, not to low, not to high.

day over scalping and swing over the day simple

 
Swing trading represents the optimal operational approach. This method prioritizes macroeconomic fundamental analysis and market structure, maximizing the efficiency of the ratio between time allocated and capital return.
 
Stocks, I prefer to swing trade. FX, I prefer intraday and scalping. The dynamics of FX market seems to change quite rapidly... while stocks you have time for quarter to quarter performance meter. 
 

I truly love scalping, it really works for me.

And I hate EAs, even if they make me a lot of money, still don't like them, I like to be in the meddle of market myself.

That is the most honest reason that I've seen for avoiding algorithmic trading. I started out trading manually, as most traders likely do, in the late 1990's. I must admit that there was a certain amount of satisfaction that I felt while picking individual stocks at that time. Over the years, I seem to have morphed into an algorithmic statistician/data forecaster. As a result, much of that satisfying feeling went out the window along with the anxiety. Having said that, there is no way that I could go back to manual trading. I wonder if anyone has ever actually done that.
 
I personally swing trading. I like having enough time to analyse the market and set up without having to watch the charts every minute.  

Scalping can be exciting, but the number of trades and quick decisions can get stressful.

Day trading can be a good middle ground if you have a few hours to spend watching the market. Personally, I find swing trading easier to manage because I don’t have to keep checking the charts all day. I can take my time, follow my plan, and avoid making decisions based on every little price move.
