Signal providers are scammers and nothing more that we can call them.
[...]
I think you have to be careful with generalizations here. [...]
Yeah, we must generalize to such an extent that absolutely no ground of disguised pump and dump scammers are left outside.
Every single one of those so-called signal groups is a scam, either by tricking newbies to buy subscriptions to garbage or tricking them to buy a ton of useless shitcoins just so the scammers can dump their load on them.
It makes no sense to run such a channel...
AcTuAlLy (makin fun of myself there)...although I agree MOST are scammers/schemers, I just joined one that's kinda cheap that I've been wanting to get into for many years. She's VERY good, and posts data on all the trades, with profit/loss stats for each trade. She also tells you where to put stop loss, and different targets for exit, so it's not just like "buy this coin now!" kinda pump n dump. Her TA is top notch & she has a HUGE following on X (I know that's not an indicator) but she's kinda a big deal, with a team & magazine & movie even I think & does give some free signals on X where you can see her TA is GOOD.
I'm kinda new here as far as posting & am not sure of exact rules, so don't think I can give her name or link to her site...that's NOT my aim....and won't tell you if you ask, even though I do have referral code, cuz this (bitcointalk) is the only site I lurk on to get good info about crypto & I don't wanna jeapordize it. Though if someone w/good merit assures me I can say her name, I will only give you her very commonly used first name & you can find her w/a little effort.
I just wanna say there are some really good ones. I've been in crypto since 2016, though I still feel like a newb...and lost a bit trading like a degen. But I did that to myself, not cuz I followed others' coin recommendations [well, not technically...though I did flw high quality accts on X & would DYOR before making purchase (usually LOL)]. And then I'd get emotionally attached to coins, so this TA group is what I need so I just follow their rules accord. to her TA signals that show where to put SL & 1-8 profit targets. When you always get out of a trade at approx. 3% SL but almost all trades are exited w/minimum 5-10% (oft way more) profit, with very few being at a loss, then you win...cuz her TA is tops.
