Almost 100% agree. Wouldn't say the ES is "the only game in town"... but there is more than enough action and profit potential in the ES to occupy nearly every trader's energy. (If you're trying to capture a piece of that, trying to follow other markets as closely only harms your overall results... IMV)As far as I'm concerned....the only game in town....is to follow and trade the S&P.
People who follow, or trade, in a lot of things and everything else out there....are just fooling themselves and hurting themselves.
It's all about Trading the S&P, the broad market ticker. The Main Event.
everything else is just foreplay and to pass time and for nonsense, sideshow carnival games.
If someone can trade the S&P successfully, everyday/intraday....they have unlocked the keys to the universe.
