So to clarify, I separate between swing trades and scalps.
Swing trades follow the H1 sentiment.
And scalps are short term trades where the goal is to get the SL to BE and then either take a discretionary profit, or let it run, move the SL along with price, and eventually get stopped out. And sometimes, a scalp taken against the current H1 direction will turn into a swing trade as the H1 sentiment changes. These are the best and most profitable trades, since we can leverage more while scalping due to the tiny SL's.
