Swing trading is another trading style in which the investor tries to gain a stock within one to four days. They usually invest in which has extraordinary potential to move in such a short period.

Scalping is a trading strategy where trader attempt to make small profits with small price fluctuations, the Scalper will place ten to hundreds trades in a single day because they believed that small moves are easier to trace than larger moves.

Don't forget that scalping kills your account ON SPREADS ONLY!
Spreads can accumulate to vast amounts of money, money you must earn in profits in order for scalping to pay off.

Also, signals from technical indicators in 5M-15M timeframe are substantially weaker than in 1H-4H timeframe.

It doesn't matter what pips you take because the $$$ only depends on your Money Management. Pick a strategy that matches your personality and available free time.

I dont think so, Pips do matter and i agree that money management do play an important role but all traders ultimate goal is maximizing pips.
