Groove and Genghis: This is an interesting debate. I think there is some value to outsourcing some of your research. Suppose you look for trading opportunities in stocks, bonds, forex, grains, and meats. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to follow so many diverse markets with the degree of detail necessary to be profitable? I'm not saying "yes" or "no", I'm suggesting that there are many ways to generate potentially profitable ideas.
That doesn't mean I agree with blindly following calls made by a "signal service." I think you need a firm grip of trading basics and a thorough understanding of the markets you trade so that you can decide for yourself if a signal is "good" relative to your trading style and financial plan. Just something to think about...
