Tribes and copy trading
Copy trading mirrors someone else's positions into your account. Tribes shows you what a group is doing and leaves the decision with you. What that difference actually changes.

Three ways a group trades
Most groups already trade together. The difference is how much of it happens in one place, and how much of it is left to someone else.
| Aspect | A group chat and a broker | Copy trading | Tribes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the conversation happens | In the chat, away from the market it is about. | Barely. You follow a trader rather than talk to one. | Next to the market it concerns, inside the app. |
| Where the trade happens | In another app, after switching out of the chat. | On the platform, automatically. | In the same app, from the Call you are reading. |
| Who opens the position | You do. | The platform does, on your behalf. | You do. Nothing is mirrored and nothing opens itself. |
| What the group sees | Whatever anyone chooses to paste in. | The trader you follow, by design. | Only what you share, per position, off by default. |
| What is left afterwards | A scroll of messages. | A performance figure for the trader. | A record of Calls and Trades that stays as it happened. |
The first two columns describe the approach rather than any one product, and are written at the level anyone using them would recognise. Tribes is neither an adviser nor a copy trading platform: nothing here is financial advice, and trading involves risk, including the loss of the amount invested.
