Polymarket Finance Traders Ranked by Simulated Copy Returns After a 5-Minute Delay
Ranked by what a follower keeps — not by what the trader made. Each trader's buys are replayed with a copy delay at the prices actually available, minus slippage and fees. The backtest score (0–100) weighs returns kept, fill rate and sample size.

How to read this board
- Returns kept: follower PnL divided by the trader's PnL at the same per-trade size. Above 100% the copier did better than the trader; “n/a” means the trader lost money, so there was nothing to keep.
- Out-of-sample ROI: the simulated follower ROI in the 7 days after the ranking period — a check on whether a ranking held up afterwards. Why this matters.
- Leader PnL is shown for context only; it does not affect the rank.
