The difference between day trading and swing trading is the unrealized profit on swing trading is safer.

Unrealized day trading profit is practically in god’s hands.

This is the only way to keep your sanity when you keep recording losses from small stop outs.

You have to see the unrealized being bigger than the sum of the losses.

Translation: If you close out the unrealized today you made money over the last X weeks.

If that’s not the case.

Yeah, you are not trading well.

You are in an acutal drawdown.
