How is this different from the general signal-service dependence quiz?

The general quiz checks your overall relationship with a signal or alert service. This one specifically checks whether that reliance has grown since a losing streak started, which is a narrower and more time-specific question.

Am I leaning on someone else's trade signals even more since I started losing?

Q: Am I leaning on someone else's trade signals even more since I started losing?

Check the statements that describe your behavior since your losing streak began. The quiz totals your score across behavior, verification habits, and emotional reliance to give a Low, Rising, or High dependence read.

Check What Describes You Right Now

Answer for the specific period since your losing streak began, not for how you normally use a signal service.

I've taken more signal or alert trades in the last two weeks than I did the month before my losing streak started.
I've increased my position size on signal trades specifically to make back recent losses.
I've paid for a higher subscription tier or an add-on service since the losing streak began.
I no longer check a signal against my own setup criteria before entering.
I've stopped keeping my own trade journal notes on signal trades.
I enter signal alerts faster now, without waiting for my own confirmation, than I did before the streak.
I feel anxious or unsure entering a trade without a signal or alert telling me to.
I blame the signal service, not my own process, when a signal trade loses.
I would keep following signals even if I could not see or understand the reasoning behind them.

How this is calculated

Using a signal or alert service is not automatically a problem. This checks something more specific: whether your reliance on it has grown since a losing streak began, rather than staying steady.
The nine statements are grouped into three areas: behavior changes since the streak started, whether you still verify signals against your own criteria, and how emotionally dependent you feel on the service.
A rising or high dependence read is worth pairing with a broader reset, not just a signal-service change. See the losing-streak reset plan and trading-break checklist linked below.
This is a self-assessment based on statements you check yourself, not an evaluation of any specific signal or alert service's actual quality or track record.
