Core concepts
The objects everything on Tribes is built from, and how they connect.
Six concepts carry most of the Tribes experience. Understand these and the rest of the product becomes much easier to follow.
- Tribe
A trading community built around people following, discussing and trading markets together.
- Scan
A token, ticker, contract or market shared with a Tribe so members can inspect it, discuss it and decide what to do next.
- Call
A structured market idea that can include the asset, direction, thesis, entry, target, stop and time horizon.
- Tribe Trade
Shared trading activity around one market inside a Tribe, made up of individually controlled positions assigned to that Tribe.
- Profile
A person's identity on Tribes, including their activity, Tribes, trading history, reputation and verified performance.
- Public trading activity
Trading on Tribes is social. Positions, trades, Calls, history and Tribe activity can become part of the shared experience and help build a public record over time.
These concepts connect in different ways.
A market might start as a Scan, become a discussion and later turn into a Call. Someone might instead discover a market elsewhere, trade it directly and assign that trade to a Tribe.
Calls, trades and other attributable activity can then contribute to Tribe Trades, shared statistics, verified history and reputation.
There is no single required path through Tribes.
