Don't trust traders especially if you don't know them much but you can use their signal finding more info for your benefits. You don't use the signals without research further before decide. It is better you research by yourself even if you don't have much skills about trading. That will helps you improving your skills as you will learn more to find out more.
I mean, we might know someone personally but they might still provide a good insight. So yeah, we can still follow them and their info once we have done a background check and prove that they are not misleading people only for their own gains. And yeah, knowing that we can do a research, then why can't we just formulate our own strategies, right? That should benefit us more.
You can have good skills like those traders so you should not listen to them without research more.
We can study and practice but maybe it is also true that not all can be good as the other? Which is why there is always people that are above us.
Most people just following others signals without verifiable and end by losing their money so you should avoid it.
It is like gambling. I'd rather gamble on my own. That should give me more excitement and then no regrets or stress because I did not lose because of someone else.
