It's absolutely wrong and a bad practice to engage in signal, it makes a trader to be lazy without focus, it makes trader become unanxious of its trades, it make a trader become over dependent and the zeal to learn becomes a problem, once they are used to that practice of signal, it also becomes too difficult to convince them about the self trade practice and personal knowledge, this is why any trade that is willing to trade and plans to stay long in the game need to avoid free and paid signals, most of the time you may not make anything from these signals if you calculate the average trades in daily, weekly or maybe monthly.
I think you are describing a squammy trading signal that you can often see on public channel on telegram. Premium trading signal is different because they provide analysis in both TA and FA for the user to analyze themselves and decide if they will enter on not. The advantage of using premium signal is you will save time browsing coins that has a buying signal indicator since your subscription will do it for you. It will not make you but will cut you some time on browsing to the bunch of altcoins available in the market.
Self trade is not but it’s very hard to enter in the right coin if you are doing it by yourself due to the quantity of the choices available.
which it is really that convenient but this one would really be having its toll because you would really be ending up on being that too dependent. You cant really be able to make it on your own on the time that you would really be deciding to go solo. There's really that an advantage for you to be on these vip groups or paid or whatsoever but this is really just that in exchange of being convenient.
But if you are that someone who is really that not having that interest on spending some sub fees then you would really be going into your own path which it isnt really that hard.
We know that information that we could really be able to know is really just a few clicks or taps away, somewhat it would really be needing that effort but its not something that you would
really be making yourself that exhausted and its all for free.
