I’m with rjdst, keep a core acct for the long term.  Trading acct for short term trades.  I’ve had some success trading low beta stocks that are in a channel.  Very visual to sell at top of channel and buy at low of channel.   You dont hear of many self made billionaires tech traders for a reason IMO.  That is why I keep a buy and hold acct.  TA does help you sleep well tho but timing both the perfect exit AND the perfect entry AND allocating the  right amount of $ can be tricky.  

    There is a guy on Twitter called Puru Saxena I have enjoyed following.  He is into high beta which is a different story but he leaves the position alone if EMA is above ~65EMA (long term trend)and hedges when Under the 65EMA AND when 5 and 7 EMAs flip (short term trend).  You could do something similar with buys and sells based on 5/7 EMA flips when stock is under 65EMA.  Above 65EMA just hold.
