Scalpers are fast and don't adhere to any pattern, they might be short in one exchange and after that go long in the following; little open doors are what they target. Scalpers normally tend to work around the bid-ask spread i.e. purchasing on the bid and offering at ask, subsequently making the spread their benefit. Swing exchanges stay open from few days to a long time to even months, however ordinarily most recent couple of days. Regarding time frame, persistence required and potential returns, swing trading falls between day trading and pattern trading.
