The feeling before the move
There is a split second when a quiet hint lands in your feed. Your breath shortens, your mind connects dots, and you feel the market lean before anyone names it. Most traders lose that moment to tools and tabs. Rumour.app is built to hold that fragile edge in place. It turns first contact with a story into a clear path from signal to position while your conviction is still warm.
What Rumour.app is, in one line
A narrative trading platform that unifies early signal discovery, credibility filtering, and one tap execution so you can act while the story is still forming.
Why a rumour market matters
Crypto runs on stories as much as numbers. Themes like new architectures, fresh ecosystems, or real world assets start as whispers and only later become charts and headlines. Returns tend to accrue to people who position on the story, not to those who wait for confirmation. Rumour.app is designed to compress the time between noticing and acting.
The product flow
Capture. Signal first rooms collect live hints, on chain breadcrumbs, venue cues, and event timing in a format that favors action over small talk.
Validate. A credibility graph lifts sources with a history of accuracy. Community signals and platform checks work together to surface what deserves attention.
Express. You pre set your risk, size, and invalidation. When conviction lands, execution is one action without context switching.
Review. Every rumour and trade is journaled so you can refine what really pays.
Key features and how they help
Signal first rooms keep noise low and momentum high. Each room centers on a specific narrative, catalyst, or ticker cluster.
Credibility scoring rewards accurate scouts and curators. Your feed adapts toward people who consistently spot the turn early.
Hands free execution converts bias to a live position without jumping between chats, dashboards, and a separate venue.
Risk templates let you lock in leverage, max loss, and exit rules ahead of time so emotion does not rewrite your plan.
Event mode concentrates attention around dates where rumours spike, like listings, upgrades, or conferences.
Creator economy pays contributors whose signals lead to profitable movement and consistent validation.
A trader’s day on Rumour
1. Preset guardrails. Choose your base capital, max leverage, and invalidation.
2. Pick rooms with intent. Follow two to three narratives you actually trade, not ten you casually watch.
3. Scan the tape. Look for alignment across hints, unusual flows, code activity, and timing windows.
4. Turn bias into a plan. Scale in near the first pullback, define time based exits for dead rumours, record the thesis in the note.
5. Trade the path. Add on higher lows, trim into confirmation, never wait for the official announcement to decide.
6. Post mortem. Tag outcomes by rumour type to find your personal edge.
The validation layer, explained
Source history. Track hit rate and lead time of each scout. A good scout is early and right more than chance.
Cross signal corroboration. Weight increases when independent sources land within short intervals.
Proof hints. Observable traces like repository spikes, contract deployments, wallet routing, or venue metadata increase credibility.
Time to proof. Signals that turn into public confirmation within a reasonable window score higher for the originator and for curators who surfaced them.
What to trade on Rumour
Listing or integration windows. Short lead times, strong moves, strict invalidation.
Roadmap catalysts. Medium lead time with compound entries as the story matures.
Liquidity rotations. Slow build narratives that reward patience and scaling strategies.
Event reveals. Fast trades with clear time boxes, best handled with presets.
Risk, and how to respect it
Misinformation. Treat every rumour as a hypothesis. Require at least two independent hints before full size entries.
Crowding. The room can become the crowd. Enter early, manage risk tightly, never chase a candle born inside the room.
Reflexivity. Stories move price which validates stories. Journal the original cause so you do not confuse echo with signal.
Compliance. Do not trade on material non public information. Keep to public signals and observable data.
A simple framework for narrative trades
Scout. Define your rumour types and where you find them.
Score. Rate credibility, timing, and asymmetry.
Size. Pre commit size, invalidation, and profit taking.
Stage. Use scale in ladders that match volatility.
Settle. Exit into strength, recycle into new setups, archive the lesson.
Metrics that actually matter
Lead time. Minutes or hours between first signal and your entry. Shorter is better if credibility holds.
Cred score differential. Gap between the signal’s credibility and your minimum threshold.
Hit rate by rumour type. Cull the categories that waste time.
Average gain before confirmation. If profits only appear after news, your edge is pretend.
Time under water. If early entries sit red for too long, your timing needs work.
How creators win on Rumour
Be early and precise. Give context, what to watch, and why it matters.
Tag proof hints. Point to traces that trained eyes can verify.
Follow up. Close the loop when a rumour resolves. Accuracy builds your score and your audience.
Curate with taste. Elevate the one signal that changes the game, not the tenth repetition.
What to watch next
More transparency into how credibility weights are calculated.
More controls for risk templates and automation.
New room formats for longer lived theses and rotating themes.
Rewards that favor accurate scouts over loud voices.
Bottom line
Rumour.app productizes what sharp traders already do. Notice the story early, test it quickly, and act with discipline. If you crave cleaner entries and fewer missed moments, this is a home for your edge. Trade the whisper, not the headline.
