If you're trading every day and making money every day, by all means, trade every day.
Personally, my approach to trading has followed a familiar trajectory: I started out scalping and have ended up trading long-term scenarios. I use charts to look for entries on s/r, etc, but I rarely look at anything under a 1h chart. I am always looking for event-trades, and the further out, the better - sometimes over 6 months out I will start building positions pre-event. Typically, I am in trades in a 3 day - 8 week window. Depending on the instrument, there are days of the week, weeks of the month, and even months of the quarter when it is less advantageous to trade. It's up to a trader to know these things.
My trading volume is larger than it has ever been, in terms of numbers of positions running at any given time, yet my stress level is lower than ever, also. "Screen time" vastly lower than when I was trying to scalp fx, also.
