How to Read the Discover Board

How to read Polycopy's Discover board: what the four lists are, what each column means, why it is ordered by Copy Score rather than by money, and where the biggest earners actually sit.

Last updated August 21, 2026

The board at /discover answers "who is worth copying", not "who made the most". It opens on the Best to Copy list, ordered by Copy Score, over the last 7 days. The money columns beside the score are context, not the ranking — and if you switch the list to Top Earners you are looking at a different question with a different answer.

One control, four lists

The dropdown above the table names a list rather than a sort key, because each option changes both which traders appear and in what order.

What each list answers
ListWhat it shows

Best to Copy

The default. Traders whose Copy Score says following them has left something after costs, best first.

Top Earners

The most money made, whether or not it would survive being copied.

Most Profitable

The best return on what they put at risk, rather than the biggest total.

Highest Volume

The most money moved. Size, not skill.

The columns

Every column on the board
ColumnWhat it is

Rank

Position in the list you have selected. It changes when you change the list.

Trader

Name and avatar, plus a red "!" if the wallet is flagged as harder to mirror.

Copy Score

The state word and the size of the leftover — "Clears 16%", "Losing 6%" — or a dash where there is no verdict.

ROI

Return over the selected period, as a percentage.

P&L

Profit or loss over the selected period, in dollars.

Open value

What they currently hold in unresolved markets.

Trend

A sparkline of the period, for shape rather than for a number.

Volume

Dollars traded over the selected period.

There is no win-rate column and no trade-count column on this board. Win rate in particular is not something to go looking for here: it is unpopulated for most tracked wallets, and a high one usually means small positions or easy markets rather than skill.

Period and category

Three period pills sit beside the list control: 30D, 7D (the default), and All. They move the ROI, P&L, Trend and Volume columns. Copy Score uses a longer window of finished trades, so those pills do not change it. Under them, category tabs narrow the board to the markets a trader actually works in.

Read the block headings, not just the rows

Under Best to Copy the table is broken into blocks: Clears, Ahead, Caution, Losing, Not comparable, Not scored, each with its rule written above it and a count of how many traders are in it. Those headings are the fastest way to learn what the score means. "Not scored" is the largest block on the board and it is not a bad mark. It means we do not have a score for that wallet yet.

Click through before you commit

Open a trader to see their profile: their record, the categories they trade, a Form chip describing the recent trajectory of their daily P&L, follower count, any harder-to-mirror flags, and the same Copy Score with the arithmetic behind it. That is where you decide whether their style is one you want mirrored, which is a judgement no column makes for you.
