Sample size
State the time window and sample cap so a small history is not presented as stable performance.
PUBLIC-DATA RESEARCH
Turn a leaderboard into a reviewable watchlist, not a copy decision.
These notes explain how Local Toolkit Lab reviews public Polymarket trader data, its sample limits, and the risks a headline ranking cannot show.
RESEARCH ENTRY POINT
Check the sample, then the risk, then whether the wallet merits more observation.
Daily posts use Polymarket's official public leaderboard for discovery. Deeper review checks recent activity, closed samples, current exposure, and behavior that may be difficult to copy.
Read the official Polymarket leaderboard reference →PnL and volume
Review PnL, volume, and active markets together instead of treating one return number as a verdict.
Current risk
Keep open exposure, unrealized PnL, concentration, and large drawdown risk visible.
Behavior
Flag high-frequency or market-making-like activity that may not be realistically copyable.
WHAT WE DO NOT PUBLISH
A high rank does not automatically become a recommendation.
- A capped history is never described as a complete win rate.
- Short-term PnL does not erase large current open losses.
- The automation never mentions, messages, follows, or bulk-replies to public traders.
- No return, principal, follower count, or exchange profit share is promised.
HOW THIS RELATES TO THE PRODUCTS
Research discovers; software enforces operating boundaries.
Whale Research stays read-only. Polymarket Copy handles only new activity after startup and decides whether to act or skip under amount, budget, price, market, and position limits. They do not become an automatic recommendation system.
All material is public-data research, not investment advice or a recommendation to copy.
