How to Read a Polymarket Leaderboard

Polymarket leaderboards are a great way to track top performers, but they can be confusing at first. This guide explains how to read them effectively, especially if you're using PolyCopy—a tool for copy-trading on Polymarket with verifiable results and a free paper mode.

What’s on the Leaderboard?

The leaderboard shows users ranked by their performance over a selected time period (e.g., 30 days, 90 days). Key metrics include:

• Profit % (ROI): The percentage gain or loss from copied trades.
• Win Rate: The percentage of successful trades.
• Sharpe Ratio: Measures risk-adjusted returns (higher is better).
• Max Drawdown: The largest loss during a winning streak.

How to Interpret the Data

1. Profit %: A high ROI doesn’t always mean a great trader—check other metrics.
2. Win Rate: A trader with 60% wins might be better than one with 90% if the losses are smaller.
3. Sharpe Ratio: A ratio above 1 is considered good; above 2 is excellent.
4. Max Drawdown: A high drawdown means the trader took bigger risks.

Why Use a Leaderboard?

Leaderboards help you:

• Identify strong performers to copy.
• Compare strategies and risk levels.
• Avoid scams by checking verifiable results (e.g., PolyCopy’s paper mode).
