Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I would say to keep eyes on other markets, learn a little about different markets and how the relate, but don't stop trading the ES. Part of developing as a trader is knowing when to avoid the market, so while the trading may be crappy right now, the lesson is valuable.
That being said all the markets have different personalities, find the one that suits you.
Exactly what I do Gold, Oil, S&P, sometimes Euro but I find EUR/USD so slow. I use the SPY instead of the ES to trade the S&P because the SPY is much more volatile then the ES. Using the same range bar period the SPY will generally produce 3 to 4 times the number of range bars then the ES will during a typical trading day. For me, more range, more bars, means more opportunities.
