Answer:
To add to Happypip's answer, I think one thing that you will have to try and overcome is to have the patience to hold your trade for a (MUCH) longer period of time. Yes, you will be have to be more aware of fundamental analysis - what news reports will be coming out and how they affect the currency markets - and key technical levels on longer time frames. However, you have been accustomed to scalping for 3 years already - shifting to a swing trading strategy will not happen overnight. I think you will need to get used to having wider stop losses and risking less on each trade while having the patience to hold on to your trade and follow your plan. It can be difficult to hold on to your trade when you see that it is going against you. I wish you the best of luck in your swing trading! :)
