Is swinging options risky?

[

I was swinging some options and even though they finished in the money, I noticed that I was still red on the contracts is this because the underlying does not move in your direction fast enough to offset the everyday decay on Theta? Are majority of options worthless on expiration so is it best to be in and out of them fast to just capture a piece of the premium increase?
