Tribes and copy trading

Copy trading and Tribes can look similar from the outside. Both bring other people into the trading experience.

The difference is what happens next.

Copy trading can hand the execution to a system. Tribes keeps the decision with you.

What copy trading is

Copy trading lets you choose another trader and automatically mirror eligible trades they make.

You usually decide who to copy and how much capital to allocate. After that, positions can be opened or closed in your account without you confirming every trade individually.

That is the point of the product. You make the decision about who to follow, and the system can handle individual trades from there.

What Tribes does instead

Tribes does not copy trades automatically.

A Tribe is a community built around the market. Someone might share a token, start a discussion, post a Call or simply link a trade they made themselves.

You can see what people are watching, what has been called, what others are trading and the conversation around it.

Then you decide what you want to do.

Every position is opened by you, sized by you and controlled by you.

If what you want is to stop making individual trading decisions, Tribes is not built for that.

It is a different model.

What the difference actually changes

Where the decision happens. With copy trading, you can make one decision about a trader and allow their eligible trades to be mirrored afterwards. Tribes asks you to decide each time: do I want this trade, at this size, right now?

What you see before trading. Tribes keeps the market, the Call, the discussion and the people trading it connected. You can look at the idea and the context before deciding whether to join.

What happens when people disagree. A Tribe does not have to move as one. Some members may buy. Others may wait. Someone may take a smaller position or exit earlier. The same idea can lead to completely different trades.

What other people can see. Trading activity is part of the social experience on Tribes. People can see positions, trading history, performance and the Tribes someone belongs to. That visibility does not give anyone control over your money. Your wallet and every trading decision remain yours.

What happens afterwards. Calls, linked Trades and their outcomes build a history around both the trader and the Tribe. Wins stay. Losses stay too.

Which one is for you?

If you want another trader's eligible positions to be reproduced automatically in your account, copy trading is the category designed for that.

If you want to find opportunities with other people, see what they are doing, discuss the market and still make every trading decision yourself, that is what Tribes is built for.

The experience is shared. The decision is yours.

Tribes does not provide financial advice. Calls and other activity on the platform are opinions shared by users and communities, not recommendations from Tribes. Trading involves risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.
