How to find and follow Polymarket traders on Polycopy. Four Discover lists, why Best to Copy is not Top Earners, and how their trades reach your Follow Feed.
Last updated August 23, 2026
Open Discover
Go to Discover. One control across the top picks which list you are looking at: Best to Copy, Top Earners, Most Profitable, or Highest Volume. Each names a different list, not a different sort of the same one. There is also a search box if you already have a name or a wallet address.
Start with Best to Copy, not Top Earners
Best to Copy orders the board by Copy Score, which asks whether following a trader has been worth what following them costs. Top Earners answers a different question — who made the most money — and the two disagree often. A large lifetime profit usually means a large account rather than an edge that reaches a copier.
Read their Copy Score before anything else
Every trader carries a state word: Clears, Ahead, Caution, Losing, Not comparable, or no score at all. Caution is the one worth understanding — it means a trader who makes money whose edge does not survive being copied. A dash means we have no verdict, which is not a middling one.
Open the profile for the record behind the score
The profile shows how they trade: their P&L, the categories they work in, how they exit, how they size, and how long they hold. Read it as context for the score rather than as a second opinion on it.
Click "Follow"
Hit the Follow button on their profile or from the leaderboard row. Following is free and unlimited — you can follow as many traders as you want.
Check your Follow Feed
Once you follow a trader, their new trades appear in your Follow Feed in real time. This is your personalized stream of trade opportunities from the traders you trust.
Refine over time
After a week, review which traders are generating trades that match your interests. Unfollow traders who trade markets you don't understand, and add new ones from Discover. Your Follow Feed gets more valuable as you curate it.
