Trading Signals

If you’re new to the world of trading, it can be difficult understanding all that’s happening. And this lack of understanding can really harm the performance of your portfolio. Trading is all about being willing to take calculated risks. Trading signals are just one of many tools that are available to help you understand and feel more secure and informed in your trading decisions.

What are trading signals?

As the name implies, trading signals are signals telling whether to buy or sell a certain asset. Think of them like stop lights telling traffic whether it should proceed or hit the brakes. Trading signals can also tell you whether to go short or long in a trade. But they’re not absolutes: you need to use your own good judgment to do what you think is right. Think of a trading signal as a guide; by no means is it a guarantee.

How do you access trading signals?

After you sign up with an online broker, they will give you access to their trading signals. Some brokers offer them for free, while others charge for the service. But you sometimes get what you pay for. The broker will ask you how you want to receive the signals, such as via email or text messaging. Pick the method that best fits your lifestyle. You want them to get your attention right away; a delay in your response could be too late.

How are trading signals designed?

Trading signals are created by many different sources such as experienced traders, brokers, and third parties, each claiming to be experts at sending the right signals. Trading signals might be created based on past market performance and/or an analysis of current market conditions.

 

Trading signals can be created by experienced traders or by computer software. The advantage of human sources is that they can exercise greater discretion to look beyond the latest trends, prices, and events and apply their own expertise and calculations to generate a proper trading signal.

 

Trading signals generated by computers look at current events to predict whether it’s time to buy or sell an asset. Companies using software will use certain commands and filters to create instant trading signals. It’s difficult to decide which is more reliable as each has its pros and cons. For example, human experts are known to make mistakes and allow emotions and opinions to color their analyses. But that same fallibility means they can better understand human behavior to deliver insights into future market performance. Computers, meanwhile, use strict filters and commands to do a better job of analyzing large amounts of historical data, all free of emotion. This can also be problematic since, as we know, we humans don’t always make decisions that are logical or readily predictable by technology.

 

Always use your own judgment

As we’ve said, trading signals are helpful guides but are by no means guaranteed. You should not rely solely on them when making trading decisions. We recommend using trading signals to inform your own personal analysis. You may end up agreeing or disagreeing with them. Be picky when choosing which trading signals to use. Those trusted by industry are much more trustworthy. Remember: you always get what you pay for!

 

In conclusion

Trading signals are useful guides that can tell you on a daily basis when it’s time to buy or sell assets. Make sure they are from a good source (and paid signals are oftentimes better quality). Keep track of their performance, giving them a score at the end of each month to see how well they’re doing and decide whether to continue using them. And always do your own analysis of the market. Trading signals can never replace that.
