Quote from jrkob:
I am not familiar with this way of trading.
1) Are the signals sent to your mobile phone based on YOUR trading system ? Eg you send them your rules, they code it with whatever soft they like, and send you the corresponding signals whenever they appear ?
2) Or are the signals you receive based on a black box model of theirs ?
If this is case 2), Michael I'm pretty surprised to read your post, because this doesn't sound like your approach of trading at all.
jkrob;
The reason for the post is that I am the one who books all of the monthly club meetings, so I am always looking at different trading products and services for stocks, futures, and forex that that look worthwhile to bring in speakers to share infomormation with the club. Most of these speakers usually fall into one of three catagories. They are usually involved in either 1. trading strategy seminars 2. trading software or 3. signals
In fact the last two speakers we have had speak at the club in the last two months offered signal services, so I invite these kind of speakers to speak at the club. Neither of the last two speakers who offered signal services were offering black box systems, definate trading rules and charting methods are employed by both, and they each shared trading strategy info in their presentations. For potential speakers, I like to find ones that come recommended from other people who have had good experiences with them, which was the case with the last two speakers, they came as recommendations. That is the purpose of this post, to find recommedations, so I can look into them further as potential future speakers and/or set up an alliance with them and the club like I did with the speaker from two months ago, if I like what I see enough to do that.
To answer your 2 questions
1. There are services out there like
www.stockboss.com that sends signals for cell phone/pager alerts you set yourself when a price you set for whatever stocks you put on the list is hit, and I'm sure they have services like that for Forex as well, but the signal services I was referring to are those that send out alerts of their own trading signals they are selling (not yours that you set).
2. The forex signal services I was asking about were ones that are not black box computer generated signals, but ones that people are involved in with a trading strategy that involves human intervention with them calling their own trades, not blind signals that a computer black box would generate.
