Of course ultimately, it is about preference and what you value, but just for discussion/fun's sake, let's do this.
Who is a better in this scenario, assuming they both have the same ROI, drawdown, win rate and whatever statistics (lot size) you deem to be important-Trader A: the trader that trades the same few pairs over and over or Trader B: the trader that is able to trade many different pairs?
Trader A is obviously skilled in the sense that he is able to capture the trend moves, counter-trend moves, all the small and big moves in that same few pairs. On the other hand, Trader B is able to understand and execute across different pairs.
Who, in your opinion, is the better trader, assuming you got to pick one.

In general I would say trader B. I say this because there are times when pairs will go dead; there will be very low volatility (or maybe the reverse - volatility is too high to trade). In that sense, trader A would be sitting on their hands while trader B would still be able to trade.
I would also say that if a trading strategy or system is truly robust then it will work across many assets and markets. So if trader A is successfully trading, say, the USD majors, they could likely apply that same strategy or system in other pairs.

Trader A is the better trader.
If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

If the nubers are the same
...
they both have the same ROI, drawdown, win rate and whatever statistics (lot size) you deem to be important
...
None of them is better as it is not important if they trade one or more pairs.

Trader A is obviously a specialist. Trader B diversifies. But what's to say trader A is simply just comfortable doing their thing and can't be bothered trading everything. That is the thing really. Neither is better, and as the saying goes, there is no room for ego's in trading. Once you become complacent and think your sooo good you can't go wrong, there's a big dick sneeking up on you from behind that is going to do you when you least expect it, if you know what i mean. I'd pick the trader that does their own thing and does not boast. Better long term. Style means nothing. There is no right or wrong way to trade. Period.
I'll take the money thanks, you can have the pips..

I don't think one really is better than the other. I think trader B can have just as much knowledge of trends as trader A does.

For manual trading it is better to go with A as trader cannot focus on more pairs properly.
For EA multiple pairs - B, is the choice as EA can handle this properly and diversify the risk

if you cannot make profit at 1 pair - do not go at multipair trading, because it will make your problems x-times more you have added pairs in your system. Trader A better in this case. Trader B more like dont know ewhat to do but believe in something that he not understand
