hi!

so some rules regarding trades are put in place by your pack manager. how many posts need to be in thread, how many posts with your character performing the desired trade, if it needs to have a logical ending, and what can be used towards your trade are some of the things left up to the discretion of the PMs. 

the site-wide rules only pertain to the amount of threads needed for the base trade, specialty, and mastery. 

the base trades are mercenary, scout, caregiver, naturalist, chronicler, counselor, hunter, and spiritualist; these all require five unique threads and can have your character performing anything from any of the specialty categories. for example, a base trade for mercenary could have your character patrolling, sparring, fighting, escorting important pack members, or discussing large conflict scenarios. you would complete five threads, performing any of these things. they could also all five just be your character sparring or just be your character patrolling; for the base trade, it doesn't really matter. 

once you're awarded your base trade, then you focus on your specialty. so that's when you would want to make sure your threads all focus on one of the sub categories like tactician, guardian, or warrior if your base trade is mercenary. for a specialty, you need ten unique threads performing something that pertains to your chosen specialty. for example, if your chosen specialty was warrior, then you would need ten threads of your character fighting or sparring. 

once you've been awarded your specialty, then for your mastery, you repeat the same process as your specialty but for twenty more unique threads. so if you're working towards a warrior mastery, you would need twenty unique threads of your character sparring or fighting. 

some PMs are more lenient about what they will count, so when in doubt ask your PM!

so it would basically look like this:
base trade: 5 threads
specialty: 10 threads performing in area of desired specialty
mastery: 20 threads performing desired mastery

you can't move to a specialty without the base trade, and you can't move to the mastery without a specialty. 

does this answer your questions? lmk if not!
