EA vs Signal for beginner

 

Hi guys, just getting started with forex and some experience.  I was in stocks for a long time so I understand a lot of the technical analysis.  As a means of getting started I was looking at signals or EAs as a good way to see if I can automate a income.

 

I noticed the Signals are not that popular even though some have very decent steady returns with low drawdowns and stable over time.  Is there a reason people don't go with signals?

 

EAs are obviously a bit more real time and can provide flexibility for me to tweak it but I'm wondering if I get a decent EA how difficult is it to make money since a lot of them fit the curve but I'm not sure how it performs in the market.  Some have real account data that they post but are those more stable then signals?
