I agree with you 100%. I do not recommend day trading to all beginner to intermediate traders. Your strategy is definitely less risk!

I only trade cryptos so I cannot give you an answer to your satisfaction. As long as there is enough volatility and volume, you can implement these strategies to trade with very high winning probability.

Most of the times I scalp with only 1-2k in my margin wallet and still make way more than swing in the long run! It's all about consistency and winning the trades :)
