Most short term players also play long term (mostly with stock and FX).
There are no market difference btw the two.
Long term (BIG) swing calls for home runs with fewer trades. Trade location is highly selective. The downside is that sentiment can markedly change in btw. Sometimes can shake out weak hands or take one out after say 1000pips gain!
Short term(SMALL) swing calls for fewer than 200pips per trade. Incesant trade is possible and therefore risk is high. Must be very good to succeed here. But if one is good, it is a gold mine! Flows with short term sentiments better.
These two above are far diff from scalping which is basically system trading gaming probability.
I trade both BIG and SMALL swings. Luckily I keep earning alpha in both
See sample of my swing plan..and how it executes

Taken deserved 70pips on eur/usd..was a roller this am. Still on BIG swing on that pair.
Most trades today ok. more than 300pips in profits today
Most trades today ok. more than 300pips in profits today
up 100 pips, stop to B/E
E/U up about 40 pips
both these trades have just about killed me mentally, I havent touched the stop or the T/P. I have this overwhelming urge to DO SOMETHING. LOL.
Hard to be honest with myself and realize that I've failed at trading for so long because of ME. Yeesh.
E/U out at +33. it's just sloshed around a lot. Honestly don't want to eat that loss ( fear maybe ), but the swissy trade is going well.

Hi Mate, Tks. It is a wide gap LOL btw 500/1500. Generally we do abt 700 on small intraday swings on FX in a good week.

To me, baring any risk aversion overnight, that pair looks to 11400 and then possibly back to this level. I use quantitative model that tracks weighted sentiment on any single currency. There is strong buying sentiment on eur and strong selling of jpy. Just my 2 cents.
Good trading to you!
