The address shown above is not suitable for copy trading, because 58k ÷ 8m = 0.725%. It has less than 1% profit. You should look for addresses with higher profit rates, preferably above 2%.
The address below has a profit rate of 9.7%, which is OK. This is an initial screening method; you need to continue checking the Gain/Loss ratio on the address’s main page.
4. Check the address profit curve and trading activity.
If it is suitable for copy trading, copy this address
Ps. The bigger the Gain/Loss, the better. Personally, I prefer Gain/Loss greater than 2.

You can filter profitable addresses by Weekly, Monthly, or All time performance. You can also filter by categories such as Sports, Crypto, and more. The leaderboard is continuously updated:
Do not copy addresses that are not suitable for copy trading.
Do not copy addresses that buy and sell immediately just to make a few cents.
Be cautious when copying addresses with a “perfect” equity curve and 0 drawdown.
A simple rule of thumb is to look for addresses with a high Gain to Loss ratio.
When viewing a Polymarket wallet page on desktop or with your phone in landscape mode, you can click the ⓘ icon to see the Gain and Loss data.
Two principles for setting copy trading parameters:
1. Match the position ratio of the target address.
2. Don’t spend all your funds too quickly, to avoid small fluctuations wiping out your principal.
With small capital, results rely more on luck. Having sufficient capital and following these principles leads to more reasonable and stable settings.
For deeper analysis, check the trading activity and the Closed positions list. Switch the Closed list to time order to review the wallet’s historical profit and loss performance.
