trade one instrument vs diversify, let's experiment

Hi guys, some traders are of the opinion that we should focus on trading just one pair but some argue that that is not good risk mgt as its like putting all eggs in one basket. Another school of thought is of the opinion that each day we should trade several asset classes to spread risk out evenly and increase chances of winning. Imagine EUR/USD is not moving would it not be wise to take other positions on indices, commodities etc. ?

So I want us to experiment and post our results here. If you are on the side of single instrument trading vs if you are for spreading trades across different asset classes. Post your profit/loss here so we see which style works best in terms of profitability/risk mgt.

Let me understand your argument: do you mean if I want to take 10 trades today, i should not take them on one instrument instead i should take them on different instruments across different asset classes?

I accept this challenge, I am beginning to think diversification is better than trading just one pair. I will be posting my results as I trade EUR/USD, US30, NAS100 and Natural Gas
