In the trading journey, most traders have experienced a phase of confusion: should they join a signal group for clear entries or turn to an experience-sharing group to learn foundational knowledge and enhance their thinking?
The answer is not simple, as it depends on your goals and the stage you are at on the trading path.
⸻
1. Signal group – suitable for newcomers or those lacking time
Advantages:
• Provides quick and clear buy/sell signals: entry, SL, TP.
• Helps traders who do not have a trading system to still participate in the market.
Limitations:
• Completely dependent on others, easily leads to 'blind trading'.
• Not understanding the reason behind each trade, easily panicking when the market reverses.
• When the group stops operating or the quality of signals decreases, traders do not know what to do.
⸻
2. Experience-sharing group – for traders who want sustainable development
Advantages:
• Focus on knowledge, methods, and market analysis in a thinking-oriented way.
• Helps traders gradually build their own trading system.
• Can help you become more independent and confident in your decisions.
Limitations:
• Takes longer to see results.
• Requires patience and proactive learning.
⸻
Conclusion:
If you are new to the market and just want to 'test your skills', the signal group can be a temporary choice. But if you are serious and want to survive in this harsh market for the long term, choose an environment that helps you enhance your thinking and understand the reason behind each trade.
Signals help you win a few trades, but a new mindset helps you survive in the long run.
