Smart Money Scores

Smart Money Scores rate every Polymarket trader from -100 to +100 based on their full on-chain trading history. The score tells you whether a trader has been consistently profitable and how much you should trust that signal.

What Goes Into a Score

Every score combines two dimensions:

  • Trading performance — how profitable a trader has been, accounting for both return on investment and consistency across positions. Larger positions carry more weight than tiny ones, so a few small lucky wins don't inflate the score.

  • Track record depth — how much trading history supports the performance signal. More trades, higher volume, and meaningful position sizes all increase confidence in the score. A wallet with only a handful of trades will have its score pulled toward zero, no matter how good those trades look.

Interpreting Scores

Confidence Levels

Every score includes a confidence level based on the trader's track record:

Level
Meaning

High

Extensive trading history — very reliable

Medium

Moderate history — reasonably reliable

Low

Limited data — interpret with caution

Data Sources

Scores use two types of PnL data for a complete picture:

  • Realized PnL — profit/loss from closed positions in resolved markets. This is definitive — the market has settled and the outcome is known.

  • Unrealized PnL — profit/loss from active positions in open markets, calculated using live CLOB midpoint prices. This reflects current market sentiment about open positions.

How Scores Differ from Simple PnL

A naive leaderboard sorted by total PnL would rank whale wallets at the top regardless of skill. PredictionPro's scoring model accounts for:

  • Position size — returns are measured relative to capital deployed, not in absolute dollars

  • Consistency — sustained performance across many trades is rewarded over a single lucky bet

  • Data quality — traders with limited history are scored conservatively to prevent flukes from ranking high

  • Current exposure — active positions are valued at live market prices so open risk is reflected

Minimum Requirements

A trader must have at least 10 closed trades to qualify for scoring in a market analysis. This prevents wallets with trivial activity from cluttering results.
