We've had this argument before brownsfan and I've got to disagree with you again. It depends totally on your trading style. If you want to microtrade a single market then of course that market needs your undivided attention. If on the other hand you like to swing trade a few markets or just look for one or two set ups per day per market then you're better off looking at different markets. You need to stop thinking "my way of trading is the right way of trading" if you don't mind me saying.
Yes, swing trading is a different animal; however it appears most here are daytrading futures. Maybe I'm wrong there, but the majority of posts are about the ES, YM or ER2. Those are daytrading vehicles primarily. Look at charts posted here, most (if not all) are daytrades and most are for minutes.

So, working under the assumption that most are daytraders of the US indexes, then focus on these market(s) is necessary to become successful. I doubt many here are swing trading US index futures contracts.

It would probably be useful to take a poll to see what types of traders are here.
