Found these, are they accurate:

Day trading is usually minutes up to a day, swing trading can take a day to a week or two.

Day trading means you have sold all of your positions by the end of the day.

[Chilwell]

Day trading is the act of buying and selling capital markets instruments within a 24-hour trading cycle or within a single trading day.

Swing trading involves holding and managing existing trades for a shorter period, typically spanning several days or weeks.

[BitMaxz]

Day traders must execute all entries and exits within a day, which could be minutes or hours. They also call it intraday trading because they profit from small spikes and rely primarily on technical analysis, as opposed to swing trading, which requires both fundamental and technical analysis and can take days or weeks to hold.
Also, keep in mind that day trading is risky if you are unfamiliar with technical analysis, whereas swing trading has a moderate risk.

That's exact it.

For example when trading stocks. The moment you sign for a broker you choose your account type.
Day trading means all your trades will be initialized and finished in between the trading hours for that day, if you fail to do so, some brokers will sell your position either in a loss or profit, some will charge you an extra fee.

The other is swing trade. A trade that can take months, sometimes even years to be compleated.

Well, this is a crypto forum so I guess he doesn't really wanna know about stocks.

The definition you gave is right but the only difference is there's no brokerage here, we are the direct sellers and buyers which is why there's no extra fee or whatsoever if we didn't sell on the particular day.

swing trader is just a long term holder who buys BTC in the bear market and will sell his coins in the bull market. and that's more than a year of waiting. or he could just be waiting for the ATH.

most of the terms used in crypto market are somehow derived from the stocks and forex market community, there are differences of course but the charts we been using and the indicators have existed long before the crypto market came.
