What is Copy Trading?

Copy trading allows you to automatically replicate the positions of successful Polymarket traders. Instead of conducting your own analysis, you leverage the expertise of proven performers whose track records demonstrate consistent profitability. This approach is valuable for traders who lack time for deep research or are new to prediction markets.

Identifying Top Performers

Not all profitable traders are worth copying. Evaluate potential targets using these criteria:
  • Win Rate — Look for >60% winning positions over 100+ trades
  • Risk-Adjusted Returns — High returns with low drawdowns indicate skill
  • Consistency — Prefer traders profitable across multiple months
  • Trade Frequency — Ensure active enough to generate meaningful signals
  • Market Specialization — Focused traders often outperform generalists
  • Position Sizing — Avoid erratic sizing that suggests gambling behavior

The PolyTools Top Traders Dashboard

Our dashboard provides comprehensive analytics:
  • Leaderboard — Rankings by profit, ROI, and risk-adjusted performance
  • Performance Charts — Equity curves and drawdown history
  • Trade History — Detailed logs with entry/exit prices
  • Specialization Analysis — Category strengths for each trader
  • Activity Alerts — Notifications when top traders open positions

Copy Trading Strategies

Direct Mirror

Automatically replicate every trade in real-time. Minimal effort but no customization.

Selective Copying

Only copy trades in categories where the trader has demonstrated the strongest edge.

Delayed Entry

Wait 15-60 minutes before copying. Reduces slippage and allows evaluation.

Proportional Sizing

Scale positions based on your account size relative to the trader you're copying.

Risk Management

Even profitable traders experience losses. Protect your capital:
  • Diversification — Copy 3-5 traders rather than concentrating on one
  • Position Limits — Cap any single copied position at 5% of portfolio
  • Stop-Loss Rules — Set automatic exits at 15%+ adverse movement
  • Daily Loss Limits — Pause copying if losses exceed your threshold
  • Regular Review — Evaluate monthly and remove underperformers
