A squad is up to five people. The leader designs a crest, and it appears on every member's profile card across the whole site. You get a room only the squad can open, and you can challenge other squads for Ticks. Win, draw or lose, everyone who traded earns XP.
Four things, and nothing costs real money.
The leader founds it and invites by username, or leaves it open so anyone can walk in. One squad per account.
The leader picks the shape, the mark and the colours. It rides on every member's public profile card, wherever their name appears.
A chat room only your squad can open. The server checks membership - it is not a hidden button.
The leader stakes Ticks for the squad. Win and the stake comes back plus the other squad's, split across everyone. Every member who closed a trade earns XP either way.
