Here's my 3 cents:  Daytraders risk less but trade more frequently. 
Position traders risk more but trade less frequently.  The style you
choose will depend on your capital and your appetite for risk.  Some
like to put on a positon trade with a stop and go fishing or golfing. 
Some like to be in the markets and making a trade every 5 or 10
minutes.  A Fast market is the enemy of daytraders because they can lose
a lot in a heartbeat [of course they can gain a lot too].
