> But swing traders need to win at least 50% of the time in order to be profitable.

That's not true. It completely depends on your strategy/system. You can be highly-profitable with a 30% win-rate (or any number) granted the amount you win is far higher than the amount you lose. If my average win is $1000 and my average loss is $100, I can be profitable with only 10% wins (excluding commissions).
