What is social trading?

Social trading is trading where other people's activity helps you discover, research and judge opportunities. Depending on the product, that can mean seeing what others trade, discussing ideas together, following leaderboards or automatically copying another trader's positions.

It is a broad label

Social trading can describe very different products. Some let you follow what other people are doing. Some are built around discussion and shared ideas. Others automatically execute another trader's decisions in your account. The important difference is who ultimately controls the trade.

Where Tribes fits

Tribes is built around people and groups, but execution always stays individual. Members can scan markets together, share Calls, talk in chat or voice and trade the same idea, but nothing executes for someone else.

We call this multiplayer trading because the experience is shared while the decision stays yours. Tribes is not a copy trading product.

What to check

When comparing social trading products, look at who controls the funds, whether anything can execute without your confirmation, whether losing trades remain part of the track record, and whether performance is based on real execution or self-reported results.
