Who are the best Polymarket traders right now?
The leaderboard above tracks the top 25 Polymarket traders in real
time. Rankings update every 60 seconds. The #1 spot changes
frequently — top traders typically earn $10,000–$500,000 in P&L
during active prediction market periods.
How is P&L calculated on Polymarket?
P&L (profit and loss) is the total USD profit from all resolved
prediction market positions. A positive P&L means the trader's
correct predictions earned more than they lost on incorrect ones.
Polymarket settles all markets in USDC on the Polygon network.
What does Return mean on the leaderboard?
Return is P&L divided by total trading volume,
shown as a percentage. A 50% return means $50 profit for every $100
traded. High return with high volume is the hallmark of consistently
skilled prediction market traders.
How often is the leaderboard updated?
Rankings update every 60 seconds from the Polymarket API. The
24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, and all-time leaderboards all reflect
live on-chain data.
Can I see a trader's full P&L history?
Yes. Click any row to open the trader's profile page. It shows a
90-day P&L history chart — a smooth equity curve aggregated by
calendar day — plus performance stats across all time periods,
open positions, and full trade history.
How do I copy-trade a top Polymarket trader?
Click any trader on the leaderboard, then press "Copy Trade" on
their profile page. This opens @merlin0_bot on
Telegram with that wallet pre-loaded, enabling automatic trade
replication in real time.
