Are Forex Signal Services Better Than Forex Signal Software?

Forex signals is one of the fastest ways to start profiting trading currency. In the most basic form, you are told when to buy and sell, where to put your stop loss and when to take profit. But how you get the signals can be different... either delivered by a Forex signals service or created by Forex signal software.
In the rest of this article I'm going to go over some considerations you should think about when deciding between getting your signals from a service or software. My intention is to help you decide which method is right for you. I'll even go over a more advanced option you might not have thought of.
Regardless of whether you are using Forex signals service or Forex signal software, the success of the signals are going to be determined by the strategy the signals come from (and possibly the traders creating the signals) and you execution of the signals. Keep in mind as well... no system is 100% accurate.
So, when looking for the "best" FX signals option, I would focus on the system being used to generate the signals and the time frame the signals come out on to determine what option is best for you. For example, if a service comes out with signals on a daily chart and only creates signals 1-3 times every two weeks, you need to know this going in. This might not be the type of trading signal you can execute properly.
Forex signal software is more flexible overall. They can focus on certain time frames or currency pairs... but are flexible enough for you to decide the time frame and currency pair you want to use. Therefore, this gives the trader the option to use the signal software on the currency and time frames they feel most comfortable trading.
You should also decide based on the amount of previous trading experience you have... even though you are using a Forex signal service or software. While it is not necessary to have a great deal of experience to use FX signals... it can be the difference between success and failure. Like I said above, there will be losses with any trading method, and inexperienced traders often don't give the service or software the necessary usage before abandoning it.
Looking from every angle, I think combining either a signal service or software with mentoring is the best way to go. This doesn't sound as simple as just placing buy and sell trades when they come out... trading Forex is often more challenging than that. So, it might be a better idea to look at the signals as an alert system for a great trading opportunity... and your training as a way to execute the trades profitably.
