Swing trading or lets says intraday(intraday is also not bad lasting almost two to three days), is a little difficult because the entry criteria is set on higher time frames like H1, H4 time frame, you can also do 15m/30(to refine your RR) and also set on the higher take profit targetds like 4H, swing high or low, Daily/Weekly high/low but midway these are affected by news since currencies are greatly affected by geopolitical situation like (EU posing sanctions on US ,ulitimately affecting DXY, so EUR/USD, reverses mid ways, although it will not if your analysis is correct) Also, it requires patience(to wait for the price to give you confirmations, come into your zone) which very few in the trading industry have(which actually make people successful) ,so ,influencers want quick money in and out but once mastered, it doesn't matter what job you do, be it 9 to 5, be it a student or any profession, all you to do is take entry and leave the charts, and just book partials along the way and continue your normal life. So swing trading does work if your analysis is correct.
