Yes, if a good source is found and it is limited, should who found this traffic source tell no one in order to keep the bidding price low and the available amount high.

Yes, temptation of us the programs to check results of traffic we get it is big, actually we see stats as part of our job, and should be unseen, not easy. I admit at times I see new affiliates sending lots of hits with low or zero conversions then they stop, I check and I see where they buy from, and I "take note". At the same time, at times I see new affiliates sending few traffic with lots of conversion, see where from, and I "take note". How can we avoid seeing and taking note I wonder? Is that so bad?
Extend the 2 things above - telling the traffic broker is not enough. Within each traffic broker you can select the site and spot, also if banner one can use different image banner - and results are very different. I seen very good exo/juicyads/eroads/etc. campaign and some bad exo/juicyads/eroads/etc. campaigns.. was both in same broker, but over different sites and banners... that's called "media buying", a science on its own.
