They each have their own purpose. For me day trading is for generating income, and swing trading is for generating wealth. I day trade my regular trading account to pay the bills every month and maintain my current lifestyle, I swing trade my IRA to generate and build long term wealth.
Personally my opinion is no, but that's just my opinion. The definition of scalping is pretty broad, I consider all my Euro trades of 14 ticks or less is a scalp, why, because I consider 14 ticks normal price rotation. If I wanted to scalp a market (and I don't) I'd start by looking at the daily average volume and daily average price range. Then I'd look at these averages during the time of day I was available to trade, the volume and range are no good to me if I'm sleeping or on a full time job.
Your comments have me thinking you're still in the process of finding a method/system that fits your personality and/or lifestyle. I believe this is the most important part of the journey. Compared to Amway where they offer you you a package deal consisting of a Dream, Method and Lifestyle, trading is much different.
