Can you copy this trader?

difficult — Possible in principle, but at least one signal says a copier would not keep the edge. Worth understanding before following.

These checks compare a wallet’s past record against thresholds chosen by hand. They are not measurements, and none has been tested against out-of-sample returns — that needs the backtester. Every signal looks backwards.

What was checked

▲ CautionEdge per dollar1.7%

Real but slim. Leaves little room for the slippage a copier pays by entering later.

✓ ClearMarkets traded48

Enough decisions to look like a method, few enough that each one is followable.

✓ ClearProfit concentration20.3% from one position

Profit is spread across many positions, which is what a method looks like.

▲ CautionSettled sample15 positions

Too few settled positions to distinguish skill from luck. Any win rate here is noise.

? Not knownWin rate (sample)93.3%

Deliberately unscored. Win rate says nothing without position sizing — selling longshots wins often and loses big, buying them does the reverse.

✓ ClearOpen concentration47.5% in top position

Open risk is spread across several positions.
