If a trader has six display screens, what are they likely to be looking at?

Most traders focus heavily on those screens right in front of them.

Those screens on the sides / behind us / from the roof receive less focus.
 
Think of it this way. Noobs think the more indicators they see on the chart the better. And to draw more indicators, they obviously need more screens. But once they realize only price matters and all those useless indicators can be thrown out the window, then they're left with only (that's right) 1 screen. That's all you need to trade like a pro.

No way. The more information the better. It just depends on what you populate those screens with.

Show me someone that is trying to make money using their phone for their visuals.... and I'll show you someone who will be out of the game with their tail between their legs in 6 months tops.

I started with hundreds of indicators. Now I have zero.

I started trading one futures with one monitor.
Now I day trade hundreds of futures with multiple monitors.

In the paid trading houses/hubs for the traders, you don't see anyone with just a tiny screen.
Everyone uses multiple screens.

For swing traders, one monitor should suffice.

Mark Minervini and presumably many others have six display screens going at all times. How are they likely to be set up?

Mark Minervini is running an Empire. Not sure you need 6 screens to Trade the Daily chart.

There's a Vid of BNF's 6 screen set up on YouTube, if you're a Day Trader.
